Quote from tomah:I thought I heard on the news today that Pizer's new cholesterol medication that was supposed to raise HDL medications has been taken off the market. Apparently it caused heart attacks. Been looking for the news item on the web, but I haven't found it - has anyone heard this?
Lenin,
Tomah and I are referring to the NEW drug that as I have stated in prior post is a drug combined with Lipitor (atorvastatin). TORCETRAPIB alone was felt to be inadequate in lowering LDL. Expectation was to build on the PROVEN efficacy and safety of LIBITOR and increase HDL with combination Torcetrapib by the combination.
You can research the subject using the symbol PFE online with stock broker's site of choice. Lipitor is "all over place", but not the clinical trial results of Torcetrapib/atorvastatin.
