9Notes5/25/06 - ML meets with mgmt and notes aggressive 2-tier formulary contracting (3-year deal with WLP to keep Lipitor on 2nd-tier).
10Other growth drivers include SPARCL, pharmacoeconomic studies and lower cholesterol guidelines.
11Mgmt feels low-cost statins will bring new patients to the market. Pharmacoeconomic analysis of IDEAL shows Lipitor adds more value than 75% discounted Zocor.
12IndicationDyslipidemia, ACS
13MechanismHMG-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.

16TNT - showed 22% reduction in events with 80mg vs. 10mg lipitor
17SPARCL - showed 16% reduction in the incidence of recurrent stroke. PE: reduce second stroke with 80mg Lipitor - Published in NEJM - 2.2% absolute reduction
18CARDS - 10mg Lipitor reduced CV events 37% and stroke by 48% in T2D patients.
19REVERSAL - Lipitor had no plaque progresion vs. progression with pravastatin 40mg
