General Information On Advicor
The Advicor drug is an important medication for those suffering from high cholesterol. It is used for individuals who have unsuccessfully tried to lower these levels without medication. This drug is time-released and is taken once a day. It is a combination of Niacin /Lovastatin. Niacin works by increasing HLD or good cholesterol levels by preventing the liver from taking this good cholesterol out of the bloodstream. Niacin also prevents the liver from producing the bad cholesterol and reduces the fatty acids in the blood. Lovastatin blocks HMG-CoA reductase, a natural enzyme, from producing cholesterol. Lovastatin also helps the liver get rid of the bad LDL cholesterol. While this drug will work alone, expect better results when used in conjunction with proper diet and exercise. Dosages of Advicor include: Advicor 20 mg, Advicor 40mg.
