Juanita:

I am on 40mg Crestor, 20 mg of Zetia and 1500 mg of Niaspan. My cholesteral spiked last year due to a drug I was on and this combination of drugs has now brought it back very close to what it should be after a year on them. I have had no ill affects except the sweating. My specialist who prescribed this combination is a Lipid Specialist and very good at what he does, hope this helps.

Thank you for your input
