National Patient Counseling Competition 2010 

you did excellent!! keep up the good work Chris

Vytorin is a combo drug which does include a statin, Zocor. Just wanted to make sure you were aware of that.

more videos from apha please. where's 2011??

So I thank you for making the comment. However Tricor is not a statin (strike one), neither is Vytorin (strike two) and yes, and oh my yes, there is a lot of data on morbidity and mortality for heart disease for statins. I wonder what links you have to the makes of the substances you recommend or if you happen to sell them. Either way, please be careful what you choose to say as some might believe you. Take care

too much filler words like "great!" "perfect!" try to avoid those

Triglycerides are not a type of cholesterol!!!

Statin was a bad choice for this final competition. Come on, now. The latest clinical trials found no improvement in mortality with statin intake. Vytorin, ring a bell too? HMG-COA reductase inhibition is not the ideal route of maintaining a good lipid profile and alleviating atherosclerosis. Rhabdomyolysis, guys? Good thing Miss PharmD stressed on the muscle pain compications. We should look into Triglycerides *and* VLDL more so than LDL. n-3's like EPA and DHA and Menatetrenone.
