https://doi.org/10.20996/1819-6446-2012-8-5-691-693

Abstract

Assessment of lipid-lowering effect of rosuvastatin is presented, as well as the main results of the study of rosuvastatin therapy efficacy , in comparison with other statins, received in controlled clinical trials of the GALAXY program: COMETS, LUNAR, MERCURY-I, SOLAR, STELLAR.
