Who Needs Those Cholesterol Pills, Anyway?

January 18th, 2008 4:00 pm By Ed Silverman

 

That’s the question pondered in a BusinessWeek piece, and the answer offered - very few. To illustrate the point, the fine print in a Lipitor ad is cited - in a large clinical study lasting more than three years, 3 percent of patients taking a placebo had a heart attack, compared with 2 percent on the Pfizer pill. This means for every 100 people, three people on placebos and two people on Lipitor had heart attacks.
