THE OATH OF
HIPPOCRATE
swear by Apollo, the physician, and Aesculapius, and Health and
All-Heal, and by God and by whatever 1 hold most sacred, that, ac-ording
to my ability and judgment, 1 will keep this Oath and this
tipulation—I will look upon those who shall have taught nie this Art
even as one of my parents. I will share my substance with them, and
I will supply their necessities if they be in need. 1 will regard their
offspring in the same footing as my own brethren, and I will teach
them this Art, if they shall wish to learn it, without fee or covenant.
I will impart a knowledge of the Art by precept, by lecture and by
every mode of teaching not only to my own children but to the chil'
dren of those who have taught me, and to disciples bound by cov-enant
and oath, according to the Law of Medicine, but to none other.
The regimen 1 adopt shall be for the benefit of my patients accord'
ing to my ability and judgment and I will abstain from whatever is
deleterious and mischievous. I will seek to inform my patients fully
about their illness and prognosis, and will always remember that the
final decision regarding their own life rests with the patient. 1 will re-gard
my patients always as fellow human beings and will do everything
ossible to preserve their dignity'. "With purity and with holiness I will
pass my life and practice my Art. Whatsoe\ er things 1 see or hear con-cerning
the life of men in my attendance, on the sick or even apart
therefrom, which ought not to be noised abroad, I will keep silence
thereon, counting such things to be sacred secrets. .nle 1 continue
to keep this Oath unviolated, may it be granted to me to enjoy life
and the practice of the Art, respected by all men, in all times. But
should 1 trespass and violate this Oath, may the reverse be my lot.

In getting patients to LDL-C goal
The leading statins went head-to-head
WHO WON?
CRESTOir
rosuvastatin calcium
As an adjunct to diet
MORE PATIENTS reached updated LDL-C
goal with CRESTOR at a low 10-mg dose
than atorvastatin 10 mg, simvastatin 20 mg, and pravastatin 40 mg*^'^
*ln all risk categories combined, 68% of patients treated with CRESTOR 10 mg achieved updated LDL-C goal
vs 50% with atorvastatin 10 mg, 56% with simvastatin 20 mg, and 50% with pravastatin 40 mg (P<.001).
Comparisons shown are with the most commonly prescribed doses.'
LDL-C goal was <160 mg/dL, <130 mg/dL, <100 mg/dL, or <70 mg/dL, depending on individual risk factors.-'
Adapted from the STELLAR trial, a 15-arm trial comparing the efficacy and safety of CRESTOR with
atorvastatin, simvastatin, and pravastatin in 2240 patients with Type lla/llb dyslipidemia.''
PROVEN SAFETY similar to other leading statins'
O in preapprova! clinical trials and postmarketing experience, CRESTOR has demonstrated a
safety profile consistent witli other currently marlteted statins^
'
Important Safety Information
O CRESTOR is indicated as an adjunct to diet to reduce elevated total-C, LDL-C, ApoB, non-HDL-C, and TG levels and to increase HDL-C
in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia (heterozygous familial and nonfamilial) and mixed dyslipidemia. The effect of
CRESTOR on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality has not been determined; long-term outcome studies are currently under way
O CRESTOR is contraindicated in patients with active liver disease or with unexplained persistent elevations of serum transaminases,
in women who are or may become pregnant, and in nursing mothers
O It is recommended that liver function tests be performed before and at 12 weeks following both the initiation of therapy and any
elevation of dose, and periodically (eg, semiannually) thereafter
O Patients should be advised to promptiy report unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, particularly if accompanied by
malaise or fever. Discontinue drug if markedly elevated CK levels occur or myopathy is diagnosed or suspected
O Adverse reactions were usually mild and transient; the most frequent adverse events thought to be related to CRESTOR were
myalgia (3.3%), constipation (1.4%), asthenia (1.3%), abdominal pain (1.3%), and nausea (1.3%)''
