Ask your doctor

the only cholesterol
medicine proven to help
save lives among people with
high cholesterol and heart disease.
• Does my high cholesterol put me at risk?

diet and exercise plan?
• Could ZOCOR reduce my chances of
having a heart attack?
• What are the side effects of ZOCOR?
• What type of results can 1 expect from ZOCOR? ]
Yoilf future is too valuable a thing
to risk with high cholesterol, if you
do something now, you may improve your
chances of being there to play your part.
High cholesterol can lead to heart disease
(and death). If you’ve been trying to lower your
cholesterol with diet and exercise, and still
haven’t reached your goal, ask your doctor
about adding ZOCOR.
More than 3.1 million people around the
world have taken ZOCOR. It works by reducing
potentially dangerous levels of LDL (bad)
cholesterol in the bloodstream. Results can
vary, but ZOCOR is the only medicine that’s
actually been proven to help save the lives of
people with high cholesterol and heart disease.
A landmark five-year study among heart
disease patients with high cholesterol demon-
strated dramatic results for ZOCOR: fewer
cardiac procedures, fewer heart attacks, and
42% fewer deaths from heart disease.
ZOCOR is a prescription medication and
only your doctor or health care professional
can determine whether you should take it.
In clinical studies, liver abnormalities were
experienced by 1% of patients. Some people
should not take ZOCOR: people with active
liver disease or possible liver problems, women
who are pregnant, likely to become pregnant, or
are breast-feeding, or people who are allergic to
any of its ingredients.
ZOCOR is indicated as an addition to diet for patients with high cholesterol
when diet and exercise are inadequate.

5 SPECIAL REPORT
Children
and sleep
Most small kids (ages 3 and
under) need at least 12 hours
of sleep each day. The debate:
Should they sleep alone or in bed
with parents? Advocates of shared
sleeping say it fosters physical
comfort and contact, making kids
more secure. Critics say it leads
to anxious, dependent kids and
cuts into parents’ privacy.
“Nobody takes a newborn in bed
and thinks they’ll still be sleeping
with their child when they’re 7, but
these things creep up on you,” says
pediatrician and columnist Mari-
anne “Dr. Mom” Neifert. She says
parents should try sleeping apart
from baby when be is 6 months old.
But pediatrician William Sears
advocates shared sleeping. “Sleep-
ing with your baby at night allows
the busy daytime parent to recon-
nect with their infant.” Sears and
his wife have had each of their eight
children sleep with them, one at a
time, until age 2 or 3. When should
shared sleeping end? “When one
member of the sleep-sharing pair
doesn’t want to anymore.” E3
