Can you say Pfizer in 2010? That's when their patent ends, and every generic drug company in America can make the pills and sell them for $4 at WalMart........ :
My chiropractor has a good frind that is a cardiologist. His friend said the MAIN REASON the suggested cholesterol levels keep going down from under 200 to 150 to a somewhat suggested 90 or less is pressure from the big drug firm lobbyists on the FDA due to the large corporate money at stake for them.
In his (cardiologist's) opionion, having been in practice for 20 years plus, you can't pluck a number out of the air and make it standard for ALL people..........
Make sure you look at all options before doing the Zocor/Lipitor thing.......
