Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Recently, research studies have shown that patients who have had trouble taking statins every day, are able to take statins if they take them only once or twice a week. The investigators are doing a research study which involves switching people who are taking ezetimibe to the statin Crestor once or twice a week and to see how ell Crestor lowers cholesterol and if it is tolerated.
