U.S. regulators won't accept drugmaker Merck's application for a new combination cholesterol pill that includes rival Pfizer's Lipitor, the world's top-selling drug.Merck & Co. disclosed the rare move by the Food and Drug Administration in a regulatory filing on Monday.
The company had said about 2 1/2 years ago that it planned to make and market a cholesterol pill combining Pfizer Inc.'s Lipitor with Zetia, a cholesterol pill Merck jointly sells with partner Schering-Plough Corp.
In September, Merck applied to the FDA for approval of its combo pill.
But Merck says the FDA refused to file the application and instead is requiring more data on the manufacturing and stability of the drug.
The FDA hasn't responded to requests for comment.

Since There are so many Naturally effective ways to lower cholesterol, I find it hard to feel sympathetic for any drug maker that preys on the ignorance of patients, and their doctors. Look up pectin, and dozens of others... When I told my neighbor he started it and quit his statins. Cholesterol normal.. doctor confused.
2 weeks of nutrition doctors study, and years of pharmaceuticals ? System is rigged
against us, and the insurance companies wont pay for natural healing, but they do pay for pharmaceuticals that make us sicker.
Its time for a wiser America to stand up for the truth.
