In the EU, they have officially approved childrens' chewable Lipitor.

Just...wow. I know it's approved for "familial" hypercholesterolemia...but c'mon...you know the real score...

How many children have candidates to be on Lipitor for them to come up with this??

amazing...i wonder how this will play out for "individuals of child-bearing potential" which unfortunately encompasses those 12 year olds and up. Perhaps a national providers prescribing program with plenty of red tape.

When I saw this, I thought it was something along the lines of a story that The Onion wrote some years back about chewable birth control pills for sexually active pre-teens.

Then someone DID come out with a chewable BCP, for ease of taking.

I know how lazy Americans are when they are not satisfied with July fourth being on a Sunday, so they want an additional day off for 4 days weekend...😡

They're already indicated for children.

Take your handy-dandy, blue, 2008-2009 Drug Information Handbook (reference to Blue's Clues 😛) and read about simvastatin on page 1431 where is says that the dosage for "children 10 - 17 years (females >1 year postmenarche): HeFH: 10mg once daily in the evening; range: 10-40 mg/day (maximum: 40mg/day)" is.

I think saying things have jumped the shark has jumped the shark.

No one is cooler than the Fonze on water skies wearing a leather jacket.

My first dog was named Fonzie. He ran away from home....probably to jump a shark.
