Levels between 200 and 239 are consid ered “borderline high.” Choles terol readings of 240 or more are too high, and persons with such levels are at risk for heart disease. 7\ Farm ing is a big business, so to make your (arm prosper, doesn't it make sense to come to the bank with a separate depart ment that specializes in agri culture and the farmer's needs.

Medicines in this fam ily include lovastatin ( Mevacor), p ra v a sta tin ( Pravachol ), and simvastatin ( Zocor ). These work by blocking the production o f cho lesterol in the liver, lowering lev els of low density and total choles terol in the bloodstream. The newest addition to the CoA reductase inhibitors is fluvastatin (Lescot). This is the only medicine in the group produced syntheti cally. The other three medicines are produced by organisms called fungi. Fluvastatin comes in 20 and 40 mg capsules. One capsule is taken during the day or at bedtime. Fluvastatin should not be taken during pregnancy, by nursing mothers, or persons with liver prob lems. ï;/* * - •; . . *•.# .•• ' ■ ;.*VV -s i, ''J.' iv 1 yvf ff a ' • ' ' V• ;5ï» f* V / f & f a \ ÿ : f t V v .: •,» & . « ' *1 -V1' * .¿ a , an»*/** 2 /• % sr V. y ■!*£ <’/,1 ÎV; •• f I :-.- l . ■'• Vi*** 'A « * *> «¿bj- < ’■' . *
