No clinical difference!

AstraZenica tried to prove their Crestor was better than their Lipitor. Why? Lipitor is going OFF PATENT soon and the drug seller wants to maximize their profits by selling the more expensive Crestor - still on patent. Sorry, this round goes to the cheaper, generic versions of Lipitor. Don't worry about quality, though.Almost all drugs (trade name and generic) are made by just a few companies - somewhere in Asia.



BTW, I still do not think cholesterol levels should be lowered using drugs - any of them; Crestor, Lipitor, or any of the generic statins - not even that stuff called red yeast rice.
