Alternate-Day Statin Therapy

In a previous article, I discussed adverse drug reactions (ADRs) attributed to statin therapy, specifically myopathies, as well as potential consequences and recommended alternatives. These ADRs are not trivial because they may lead to patient harm in severe cases and/or significant patient nonadherence in most cases. In fact, statins are frequently discontinued as a result of ADRs1,2 and for a...

Effect of alternate-day, single-dose, corticosteroid therapy on pituitary-adrenal function.

Therapeutic doses of ACTH given daily and maintained for more than 2 years in patients with poly-arthritis do not normally suppress hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) responsiveness to the stresses of insulin hypoglycaemia or surgery (Carter and James, 1970a, b). By contrast, corticosteroids in daily doses equivalent to 7 5 mg. or more of predni-solone will impair pituitary-adrenal function i...

Effect of Short-Term Modified Alternate-Day Fasting on the Lipid Metabolism in Obese Women

Decrease in energy intake has been shown to lower the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) in obese. The common form of dietary restriction is daily calorie restriction (CR). Another form is alternate-day fasting (ADF). The ability of modified ADF to facilitate we...
