Abstract
ABSTRACT
Hyperlipidemia is a metabolic disorder characterized by
excess of lipid substances as cholesterol and triglycerides, in the
blood. Its complications such as atherosclerosis, myocardial
infarction, stroke and peripheral vascular diseases remain
important reasons of mortality and morbidity in all countries.
Drugs commonly used to treat high cholesterol level are statins
including atorvastatin (Lipitor
®
). According to Med Ad News
(Medical Advertising News), the two top selling drugs are
Lipitor
®
and Zocor
®
. Atorvastatin reduces the levels of "bad"
cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides in the blood, while
increasing levels of "good" cholesterol (HDL).
