Simcor symptoms and conditions

I was on simcor, which is heavy dose of niacin plus simvastatin.Was taking simvastatin alon and i was fine.
my lipids and trygllicerides were very high so put me on this medication''
I'm sure its the niacin that is the culprit. sever itching on back and inner arms.

Was very red and hot to the touch.

I am now off of it for a week. Continue to have the itching and rash.
It has to be a reaction to the niacin, as that is when it started, I refuse to live with this, Will not take again.

Note to admin: please move my April 16 2008 7:50 AM note about Simvastatin to the drug Simcor. Simcor is a Niacin / Simvastatin combination and I posted incorrectly. I was prescribed Simcor which is 750 mg Niacin and 20 mg Simvastatin. The pharmacist says my itching burning was due to the Niacin and that I should take an aspirin 30 minutes before the Simcor pill.

I had to discontinue Niaspan due to intolerable side effects. My doctor has prescribed a new medication called SIMCOR which has only been on the market for about 3 weeks. This is a combination of Zocor & Niaspan but the side effects are supposed to be much more tolerable. Has anyone else been prescribed this drug and if so....how are things???? I will begin using mine tonight.
