A New Cholesterol-
Lowering Medicine
Treatment of elevated blood
levels of cholesterol with medica
tions generally is advised if non-
drug measures do not keep choles
terol within acceptable ranges.
Non-drug measures include exer
cise, dietary changes, weight loss,
and smoking cessation. Total blood
cholesterol levels of less than 200
are considered desirable. 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.

“Committed to peopU and community
'
A group of cholesterol-lower
ing medicines referred to as the
HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors
have been used extensively and
effectively during the last 5 or
more years. 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.
