Merck and SGP's Vytorin/Zetia: Are Doctors Writing Fewer Scripts?

This study is a joke, Steve Nissen hates Merck and was upset he was passed over for leading the study. I heard someone say we need to go back to statins w/ outcome studies, isn't zocor a statin with outcomes??

I have been on Vytorin for 12 months, the lower dose and my LDL is around 100. I was on straight zocor 20 before and was only doing ok. The media needs to back off and let doctors make decisions for their individual patients. I thought Crestor (at high doses) had side effects also but now it's a wonder drug???

I don't beleive anything from the media or big pharma in general...it's a business and the doctors are getting paid off all the time for speaking, free lunches, trips, etc...by ALL the companies.
