Bank of America gives a medical opinion
“Banc of America (sic) said ‘there was a fear that if OTC statins became available it would cause a weakening in the prescription cholesterol market. That was not our belief as relatively few patients would have been able to reach their cholesterol goals with 20mg of Mevacor.'”
Nice to see a bank give a medical opinion. Statins, specifically 20mg of Mevacor, can reduce LDL approximately 30%. For many people, that would be a significant lowering, and can bring the LDL into acceptable ranges.
