This Article contains an error in Table 2, where in the column heading “AUC0−∞(ng/mL)” the unit “ng/mL” should read “h x ng/mL”.


In addition, in the Materials and methods section under subheading ‘Pharmacokinetic analyses of per orally administered statins’.


“The expected average statin concentrations in plasma during multiple dose treatment were calculated for the doses that the patients received in our study (Eq. 1):

$$ {\text{C}}_{{{\text{ss,av}}}} = {\text{AUC}}_{{{\text{singledose}}}} /\tau $$

where τ is the time interval between doses.”


should read:


“The expected average statin concentrations in plasma during multiple dose treatment were calculated for the doses that the patients received in our study (Eq. 1):

$$ {\text{C}}_{{{\text{ss,av}}}} ({\text{ng}}/{\text{mL}}) = {\text{AUC}}_{{{\text{singledose}}}} ({\text{h}} \times {\text{ng}}/{\text{mL}})/\tau (24 {\text{h}}) $$

where τ is the time interval between doses that correspond to 24 h.”
