OK, I'll come out of the closet. I was prescribed Zocor since its approval and it worked ok,but didn't help my triglycerides. When Lipitor came out we did our own trial. We drew blood on Zocor and then stopped using it. Once the drug was gone, I was put on the smallest effective dose of Lipitor,which wasn't the case with Zocor.After 1 month we drew blood again. Lower triglycerides,within normal rates,lower HDL and lower overall cholesterol.A triple play.
Good Bye Zocor.That is since the drug was made available.My levels haven't changed,quite normal.
Check this out,there is a small biotech AVNT AvantImmunotherapy started today an athersclerosis vaccine Ph I trial.They say the drug has raised HDL and reduced plaque build up in lipid compromised sheep. They say it works, any volunteers?
