The invention concerns safe non-interacting drug combinations of a
3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor,
which is (E)-7-[4-(4-fluorophenyl)-6-isopropyl-2-[methyl(methylsulfonyl)a-
mino]pyrimidin-5-yl] (3R,5S)-3,5-dihydroxyhept-6-enoic acid or a
pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (the Agent) and a drug which is
either an inducer, inhibitor or a substrate of cytochrome P450, in
particular cytochrome P450 isoenzyme 3A4. Particular combinations are
useful in treating hyperlipidaemia in humans who are receiving
immunosuppressive chemotherapy. A preferred combination is the Agent and
a fibrate drug, the use of such a combination in treating hyperlipidaemia
in mammals, and medicaments containing such a combination for use in such
treatments.
