Comparability of Rosuvastatin and Atorvastatin • Rosuvastatin is significantly more potent on mg per mg basis • What doses are comparable? • 2x? 4x? • Treatment difference and 95% CI

HDL % Change from Baseline for Atorvastatin and Rosuvastatin Study 65 Type IIa/IIb
Summary • Rosuvastatin achieves about 4% more mean LDL-lowering than 2 times the dose of atorvastatin • The HDL effects are variable • No dose response relationship • Small increase for 20 mg over 10 mg • Consistent with the statin class
