<p>The present invention is a combination of an ACAT inhibitor, for example, sulfamic acid, [[2,4,6-tris(1- methylethyl)phenyl]acetyl]-, 2,6-bis(1-methylethyl)phenyl ester, and an HMG-CoA-reductase inhibitor, for example, atorvastatin, effective for lipid regulation. The combination of agents results in a greater reduction in plasma VLDL and LDL cholesterol and increases HDL cholesterol than either alone resulting in a less atherogenic lipoprotein profile. The combination is useful in the treatment of patients with or at risk of developing ischemic syndromes in order to restore endogenous vascular endothelium- dependent activities.</p> |
