The present invention is a method introducing the sublingual placement of statin drugs whose names include : Fluvastatin, Atorvastatin, Lovastatin, Pravastatin and Simvastatin for heart related and other vascular emergencies. Current research challenges are developing many new derivatives and new classes of these HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, which alter the biosynthesis of cholesterol. This method applies these medications (statin drugs) in a form such as sublingual (under the tongue) for rapid absorption and immediate high blood levels similar to that of nitroglycerin. The advantage of this method is that it will benefit those who are stricken with strokes and heart attacks by therefore saving lives and costs of medical care.
