Questions and AnswersQuestion No.: 18378 Submitted By: cv Submitted on: June 6, 2008 Subject: Niacin for high cholesterol Question: Dear Dr. Cinque, My husband and recently been sent to a heart specialist because of concerns with his latest cholesteral results being too high. After having an MRI, the heart specialist put him on a prescription medicine called: Simcor - Niacin Extended Release. He would rather take natural remedies. Have you heard of this medication and would do you approve of it? Thank you. Dr. Cinque's Answer: Well, I would sooner take Niacin for high choleterol than statin drugs. I don't really know if there is anything special about that particular product to make it better than the Niacin that we sell. But Niacin is a natural substance with a proven record at lowering cholesterol. So, I'm glad he chose that and not statins. |
