摘要
Sixteen HIV-infected patients with protease inhibitor (PI)-related, persisting hypercholesterolaemia were treated with 10 mg a day rostivastatin for 24 weeks. At the end of the observation period, the median reductions in total cholesterol and triglyceride levels versus median baseline values were 21.7 and 30.1%, respectively (P < 0.01). In our small pilot study, rosuvastatin was found to be effective for the treatment of PI-associated hyperlipidaemia, in association with a favourable tolerability profile, without significant clinical or laboratory adverse events.
