[Cost-effectiveness of atorvastatin against simvastatin as hypolipemic treatment in hypercholesterolemic patients in primary care].
To perform an economics evaluation of lipid-lowering therapy with atorvastatin and simvastatin in patients with hypercholesterolemia in primary care setting. ⋯ Both statins were effective as lipid-lowering agents. However, atorvastatin 10 mg was more efficient than simvastatin 20 mg due to a better cost-effectiveness ratio.
