yes, sounds real good but recent "cuts" in the pricing of such drugs has brought it down to around $3850 a year!! I imagine people with hyperlipidimea that does not respond to Statins might be able to get reimbursed by their insurance companies but in my case I doubt mine will go for it...

Much the same Frazee, was quite an interesting read until the price was mentioned. I will stick to my Torio 20 Simvastatin tablets at about 400 baht a year. Last blood test bad lipons (at least I think that's the word) readings have came down from above 105 to 65 with no real lifestyle changes.
