The big drawback to this medication is the flush it creates.
To avoid the flush take the medication with a baby aspirin and a spoonful of applesauce. THIS WILL PREVENT THE FLUSH.

on simcor for 3 months - previously was on niaspan for 6-9 months. Niaspan gives me heart palpitations and my doc thought going to simcor would make it better. It, in fact, made it worse. Very bad palpitations that landed me in the ER once. irregular heartbeat. was told to take full 325mg aspirin before so flushing at night wasn't a problem. a few mild episodes of it but never woke me up out

This is my 2nd day of taking Simcor and I woke up with a rash on my chest, arms and legs this morning. Called my Dr office & they advised stopping Simcor and taking Benedryl to reverse reaction causing rash & itching. Also not covered by my insurance. Obviously, will not take again.
