That should help the PFE stock price... g/ng. It was noted long ago that Pravachol doesn't do very much. Many people will decide to change to Lipitor, and they should.

I think I mentioned this study in the past on this thread - still can't find the study itself:

Statins increase life expectancy, study finds
(WJLA-TV) UPDATED 2006-10-09

Statins like Crestor, Zocor, and Lipitor can increase the life expectancy of elderly patients, a new study has found. University of Arkansas researchers tracked 1.5 million patients and found that elderly statin users lived an average of two years longer than non-statin users. The researchers were surprised by this statistic because elderly patients are usually only prescribed statins if they already have health conditions that increase their risk of death.
