The various lipid parameters were recorded at the start of statin treatment and after 12 weeks of treatment. Results were compared, and statistical analysis was done. RESULTS Both drugs reduced the levels of Total cholesterol, Serum triglyceride & LDL-cholesterol levels and raised the serum level of HDL-cholesterol. The mean changes for Rosuvastatin & Atorvastatin were 74.89 ± 10.04, 50.20 ± 14.09, 74.45 ± 10.12 & 43.75 ± 5.69, 31.88 ± 2.17, 46.36 ± 6.22 respectively for the bad cholesterols and the mean rise in the serum level of good cholesterol was 9.6 ± 0.10 & 8.94 ± 0.98.
