0.00001) by 15.6% and 17.3%, and the LDL-cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein
(HDL)-cholesterol ratio by 37.2% and 36.5%, respectively"
- "In conclusion, policosanol administered at 10 mg/day produces more
advantageous changes in HDL-cholesterol and has a better safety and
tolerability profile than lovastatin 20 mg/day."
