However, the discovery of the pharmacological class, Statins of which Lipitor and Compound X belongs, which inhibits HMG CoA reductase, an enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of HMG CoA to mevalonic acid, an early and rate limiting step in the biosynthesis of cholesterol, has greatly improved the management of patients of patients with hyperlipidemia (Bertolini et.al.1997). Lipitor a Statin drug, acts by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase and are used as adjunct therapy to diet to reduce the risk of

dysfunction, heart failure or liver disease - Treatment: -Intravascular ultrasonography was performed on 1039 patients with coronary disease. Patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned in a ratio of 1:1 to receive either atorvastatin 40mg daily or rosuvastatin 20mg daily for a 2 week period to determine patients
dyslipidemia (1). She does not have a family history of premature cardiovascular diseases. Secondary prevention of cardiovascular events and all-cause-mortality are the primary outcomes for JF’s lipid-lowering therapy. JF was previously stable on atorvastatin for many years and thus has not had lipid testing in the past year. JF recalls meeting her cholesterol targets previously (LDL ~2.0 mmol/L, HDL ~1.2 mmol/L, TG and TC unknown). The recommended target values for post-MI patients are LDL-C of <2
This drug, along with Lipitor affects nursing mothers, because it’s undetermined whether or not simvastatin/atorvastatin is excreted into breast milk. It’s highly recommended that mothers do not nurse with Zocor or Lipitor in their systems, because the side effects can be extremely adverse (“Zocor (Simvastatin) Drug Information: Overdosage and Contraindications”, n.d.). (“Lipitor (Atorvastatin Calcium) Drug Information: Overdosage and Contraindications”,

Furthermore, atorvastatin treatment caused a significant increase in the generation time of S. epidermidis over 18 hours. These repeatable effects appear to be species specific, as they did not occur with any of the S. aureus strains tested. To further test the species
