Lipitor Significantly Lowered Hospitalization Costs for Patients,with Heart Disease, Two New Analyses Show

s with stable coronary heart disease from the TNT trial:

-- Lipitor 80 mg provided significantly better clinical outcomes at almost no additional cost over five years compared with Lipitor 10 mg (the five-year cost of the 80 mg dose was $181 more).

-- This finding resulted from a significant 15 percent reduction in both cardiovascular hospitalizations and a significant 27 percent reduction in revascularizations.

About the overall TNT Trial

The five-year TNT study involved 10,000 patients with both heart disease and elevated LDL levels. In this study, patients taking Lipitor 80 mg had a significant 22 percent reduction in the risk of major cardiovascular events over and above patients taking Lipitor 10 mg. In addition, patients treated with Lipitor 80 mg had a significant 26 percent reduction in the risk of hospitalization for heart failure.

About Lipitor

Lipitor is the only statin proven to provide a combination of significant and proven cardiovascular event reductions, impressive average LDL lowering of 39 percent to 60 percent, and a well-established safety profile across a broad range of patients.

It is the most prescribed cholesterol-lowering therapy in the world, with nearly 133 million patient-years of experience. Lipitor is supported by an extensive clinical trial program involving more than 400 ongoing and completed trials with more than 80,000 patients.

Important US Prescribing Information

Lipitor is a prescription medication. It is used in patients with multiple risk factors for heart disease such as family history, high blood pressure, age, low HDL ("good" cholesterol) or smoking to reduce the risk of a heart attack and stroke, certain kinds of heart surgery and chest pain.

Lipitor is also used in patients with type 2 diabetes and at least one other risk factor for heart disease such as high blood pressure, smoking or complications of diabetes, including eye disease and protein in urine
