It would take thousand of patients to demonstrate statistically
significant reductions in mortality. To my knowledge, those
studies have not been done usining pantethine. Neither have the
necessary studies been done to show whether pantethine reduces
second heart attacks, strokes, etc.

Large retrospective studies have linked statins to increased risk
of polyneuropathy and decreased risks of cancer. Have there been
any large retrospective sties of pantethine and polyneuropathy or
cancer?

Aren't the kinds of data that have been assembled for and against
statins mostly missing on pantethine?
