I am a 60-year-old woman with CAD.  My LDL is 64 and my HDL is 72 on Zocor, but my doctor thinks Crestor may be better for me.  He says it is more potent and could reduce my numbers even more.  I would have to pay for this drug out-of-pocket.  Do you think the additional cost would be worth it?  [electronic resource]
