A breakthrough daily pill that slashes ‘bad’ cholesterol more powerfully than statins has been unveiled by US scientists – raising hopes of a major new weapon against heart attacks and strokes.
In a major global trial, the drug cut LDL cholesterol by more than 57 per cent in patients already taking standard treatments – the biggest reduction ever seen from a standard oral medication.
Experts say the pill could transform care for millions of people who struggle to control cholesterol levels or cannot tolerate statins.
If Pfizer, Moderna or J & J have any involvement stay far away.
