statins -- keywords

The first search statement shown below was produced by ORing together the synonyms from the MICROMEDEX POISINDEX Managements article "LOVASTATIN AND RELATED DRUGS" and the American trade names from AHFS Drug Information. (CAS numbers from the MICROMEDEX article were not included.) Alternate forms of investigational names were inserted.

The search statement (see above) was then test-run in PubMed. After the test run, it was clear that phrases and terms not recognized by PubMed would have to be removed as too many irrelevant results were being retrieved. I've removed the unrecognized phrases and terms from the search statement below:
