[Cerivastatin. Which lessons for clinical practice?]
Abstract
The event of cerivastatin is the starting point for several methodological issues that, in the era of evidence-based medicine, should be the scientific basis of clinical practice. The article goes into three main issues: the production of evidence about efficacy of drugs, their safety profile through the collection of data about adverse drug reactions and the appropriateness of drug prescription.
