Summary

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.
