HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors/Statins
Statins are used to lower cholesterol levels in patients with heart disease, and are among the most commonly prescribed medications in the United States. Patients at risk of developing heart disease - for example those with type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure - are frequently given statins as a preventative measure. Statins work by reducing liver's production of cholesterol. Lipitor (atorvastatin) and Zocor (simvastatin) are two of the most popular brands.
