Robinson Ac, J. Hanif, LA Dumbreck, AJ Prichard, BT Manners
SUMMARYWe have estimated that in 1995 more than £2 million was spent by the

throat swabs ... hiện toàn bộ
A HIGH INCIDENCE OF COUGH ASSOCIATED WITH COMBINATION THERAPY OF HYPERTENSION WITH ISRADIPINE AND USINOPRIL IN CHINESE SUBJECTSInternational Journal of Clinical Practice - Tập 45 Số 3 - Trang 178-180 - 1991
Jean Woo, T Y Chan
SUMMARY The efficacy and tolerability of combination therapy using Lisinopril (5

subjects, whose blood pressures were not controlled on Isradipine alone. The
addition of Lisinopril produced approximately two‐fold reductions in blood
pressure compared to Isradipine alone, increasing the responder rate of the
original coh... hiện toàn bộ
COMPARISON OF THERAPY WITH SIMVASTATIN 80 MG AND ATORVASTATIN 80 MG IN PATIENTS WITH FAMILIAL HYPERCHOLESTEROLAEMIAInternational Journal of Clinical Practice - Tập 53 Số 8 - Trang 609-611 - 1999

47 ± 13% and 43 ± 16% and median triglycerides by 22% and 27% respectively.
However, atorvastatin reduced HDL by 2 ± 24% compared with 8 ± 30% increase with
