| Notes | 5/25/06 - ML meets with mgmt and notes aggressive 2-tier formulary contracting (3-year deal with WLP to keep Lipitor on 2nd-tier). | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Other growth drivers include SPARCL, pharmacoeconomic studies and lower cholesterol guidelines. | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Mgmt feels low-cost statins will bring new patients to the market. Pharmacoeconomic analysis of IDEAL shows Lipitor adds more value than 75% discounted Zocor. | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Indication | Dyslipidemia, ACS | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Mechanism | HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor. Beneficial effects in acute coronary occlusion: remodeling/anti-inflammatory effects due to nitric oxide release. Anumal studies show reversal of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
