Lovastatin "Altoprev is the ONLY statin drug I can tolerate. It is due to the timed release of the drug over 24 hours. I do not receive that whopping dose of the drug all at once. However, my ins. Rx. coverage will not cover it. I do not get to take it regularly, due to fixed income. It is 160.00 a month. But this is the drug for me, and I get it filled about every other month."
