Advicor is prescribed to lower cholesterol and triglycerides (types of fat) in the blood. Advicor is combination of Lovastatin and Niacin. Lovastatin is in a group of drugs called HMG CoA reductase inhibitors, or "statins." Lovastatin reduces levels of "bad" cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein, or LDL) and triglycerides in the blood, while increasing levels of "good" cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein, or HDL). Niacin, also called nicotinic acid, is a B vitamin (vitamin B3). If you need treatment for these conditions, buy discount Advicor online from a Canadian pharmacy.
Advicor (lovastatin and niacin) can harm an unborn baby or cause birth defects. Do not take lovastatin and niacin if you are pregnant. Contact your doctor immediately if you become pregnant during treatment. Advicor (lovastatin and niacin) may pass into breastmilk and could harm a nursing baby. Do not breastfeed while you are taking Advicor (lovastatin and niacin).
You should avoid eating foods that are high in fat or cholesterol. Advicor (lovastatin and niacin) will not be as effective in lowering your cholesterol if you do not follow a cholesterol-lowering diet plan. You should also avoid drinking alcohol, because it can raise triglyceride levels and may increase your risk of liver damage.
