This combination medication is used along with a proper diet to help lower bad cholesterol (e.g., LDL) and fats (triglycerides) and raise good cholesterol (HDL) in the blood. Niacin is also known as vitamin B3 (nicotinic acid), one of the B-complex vitamins. It works by reducing the amount of cholesterol made by the liver and increasing the natural substance (an enzyme) that breaks down fats in the blood. Lovastatin belongs to a group of drugs known as statins. It works by reducing the amount of cholesterol made by the liver. This product is prescribed after non-drug treatments (e.g., diet change, increase in exercise, weight loss if overweight) and the use of one drug (niacin or lovastatin) have not been fully successful at lowering cholesterol. Lowering bad cholesterol and triglycerides and raising good cholesterol decreases the risk of heart disease and helps prevent strokes and heart attacks. Lowering triglycerides may also help reduce the risk of pancreas problems (pancreatitis) in people at risk.
How to use Advicor Oral

Take this medication by mouth with a low-fat snack, usually once daily at bedtime or as directed by your doctor. Taking this drug with food will increase its absorption and help reduce side effects (e.g., flushing, stomach upset).

Swallow this drug whole. Do not chew, crush, or break the medication. Doing so can destroy the long action of the drug and may increase side effects.

To lessen the chance of flushing, avoid alcohol and hot beverages near the time you take niacin. Taking a plain aspirin (non-enteric coated, 325 milligrams) or a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (e.g., ibuprofen, 200 milligrams) 30 minutes before taking niacin may help prevent flushing. Ask your doctor if this treatment is right for you (especially if you are also taking a blood thinner such as warfarin).

The niacin in this product is an extended-release form. Your doctor should instruct you to take the individual extended-release niacin first until you reach the right dose and then switch you over to this combination product. Niacin is also available in other formulations (e.g., immediate- and sustained-release). Do not switch other strengths, brands, or forms of niacin with this product because doing so may cause severe liver problems.

Dosage is based on your medical condition, response to treatment, and use of certain interacting medicines. Many of the drugs listed in the Drug Interactions section may increase the chances of muscle problems when used with this product. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.

Avoid eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice while being treated with this medication unless your doctor instructs you otherwise. Grapefruit juice can increase the amount of certain medications in your bloodstream. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.

If you also take certain other drugs to lower your cholesterol (bile acid-binding resins such as cholestyramine or colestipol), take this product at least 4 to 6 hours before or after taking these medications.

Take this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. Remember to take it at the same time each day. It may take up to 4 weeks before you get the full benefit of this drug.

It is important to continue taking this medication even if you feel well. Most people with high cholesterol or triglycerides do not feel sick.

Do not stop taking this medicine unless directed by your doctor. If this product is stopped, you may need to return to your original dose and gradually increase it again. If you have not taken this medication for several days, consult your doctor or pharmacist for instructions on restarting it.

Side Effects

See also Precautions section.

Flushing (warmth/redness/itching/tingling of the skin, especially of the face/neck), sweating, headache, dizziness, or chills may occur within 2 to 4 hours after taking this medication. Flushing may persist for a few hours after use. These effects should improve or go away after several weeks as your body adjusts to the medication. Stomach upset, nausea, or diarrhea may also occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.

Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: severe dizziness, fast/irregular heartbeat, swelling ankles/feet/hands, shortness of breath, unusual joint pain, vision problems.

This drug may infrequently cause muscle problems (which can rarely lead to a very serious condition called rhabdomyolysis). Tell your doctor imme
