Autobiography of a Drug
Hello everyone! I was first synthesized in 1985 by Dr. Bruce Roth. I did not get approved by the FDA until 1996. I became the best-selling drug of all time in the world, netting more than $125 billion in sales over a 14.5-year period. I work by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme found in the liver that plays a role in producing cholesterol. Several years later in the mid-2000’s, I was shown to contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes in some populations. The most common side effects that I cause are joint pain, diarrhea, heartburn, nausea, hyperglycemia, and muscle pains. NUR506 Discussions Latest 2022 March (Full)
