The effectiveness of atorvastatin in the prevention of stroke
https://doi.org/10.21518/2079-701X-2015-12-84-93
Abstract
Summary. The article examined the relationship between the risk of stroke and various profiles of lipid metabolism. The findings show that only statins, unlike many other lipid-lowering drugs, significantly reduce the risk of both primary and recurrent stroke. The discussion is focused on research findings demonstrating a lower risk of cerebral events during treatment with atorvastatin. It is stressed that in case of administration of generic drugs, the same level of efficiency and safety can only be guaranteed if the generic has a proven therapeutic equivalence to the original drug.
