Pharmacy Pearls: June 2020 Brand Name Statins and Fibrates

June 16th, 2020 | Pharmacy PearlsCardiology

This edition of Pharmacy Pearls reviews the benefits of utilizing generic statins for treatment of hyperlipidemia, as certain brand-name statins can reach almost $900 per month. Generic statins have an abundance of safety and efficacy data to support their use, and some can be utilized on alternate dosing schedules for patients who have tolerance issues. In addition, the Pharmacy Team reviews fibrates as a treatment class and when they are or are not clinically indicated.

As always, we welcome any feedback or questions you may have. Just email the Pharmacy Team.
