title: [Simvastatin in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia].
abstract: We have treated twelve patients with simvastatin: six had type IIA hypercholesterolaemia and the other six had type IIB. These patients have been examined before and after therapy, by an ophthalmologist. After therapy, the levels of the total cholesterol and triglycerides were decreased while HDL cholesterol was increased. Untoward side effects of ophthalmologic alterations were not observed.
