Drugs for treatment of HIV/AIDS include nucleosidereverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) and protease inhibitors (PIs). Zidovudine and nevirapine have been shown to reduce or prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV infection. This is the only indication for which
they are included here
. Single drug use with zidovudine,
except in pregnancy, is now regarded as obsolete be- cause of the development of resistance. Triple therapy isbeyond the budgets of most national drug programmes and therefore HIV/AIDS treatment policies must be de- cided at country or institutional level.
Additional reserve antituberculosis drugs for the treat-ment of drug-resistant tuberculosis should be used in specialized centres only with WHO-recommended TB control strategy, DOTS, and treatment programmes.

WHO Drug Information Vol. 13, No. 4, 1999 The WHO Expert Committee on Essential Drugs recog- nizes the value of lipid-lowering drugs in treating patientswith hyperlipidaemia. Beta-hydroxy-beta-methylglutaryl- coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase inhibitors, often re- ferred to as "statins", are potent and effective lipid-lowering drugs with a good tolerability profile. Several of these drugs have been shown to reduce the incidence of fatal and non-fatal myocardial infarction, stroke and mor-tality (all causes), as well as the need for coronary by- pass surgery. All remain very costly but may be cost- effective for secondary prevention of cardiovascular dis- ease as well as for primary prevention in some very high- risk patients. Since no single drug has been shown to be significantly more effective or less expensive than othersin the group, none is included in the model list; the choice of drug for use in patients at highest risk should bedecided at national level.
