[QUOTE="tonyS54, post: 570171, member: 69756"] I posted this on another thread it is also relevant to this discussion. If your on simvastatin check out the The new draft NICE guideline on lipid modification, you might want to discuss this with your GP. [I]"In this respect, NICE’s suggestion that fixed doses of atorvastatin are used ([B]simvastatin is out, following emerging data on its higher rhabdomyolysis risk[/B]) will be a relief to GPs and practice nurses, who will not face the burdensome exercise of titrating the dose against an arbitrary cholesterol level."[/I] [I] [url]http://www.gponline.com/viewpoint-new-nice-guideline-lipid-modification/cardiovascular-system/hyperlipidaemia/article/1295573[/url][/I] Seeing simvastatin has been on the market for many years wonder why it's taken so long for this emerging data to be discovered !
