Advicor (Niacin/Lovastatin) is used along with a proper diet to help lower bad cholesterol and fats (such as LDL, triglycerides) and raise good cholesterol (HDL) in the blood. Niacin is a Vitamin B3, which lowers the amount of cholesterol in the blood. Lovastatin belongs to the groups of medications called HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors and it works to reduce the amount of cholesterol in the blood by blocking an enzyme that is needed to make cholesterol. Advicor belongs to a class of drugs known as statins. This medication works by reducing the amount of cholesterol made by the liver and by helping the body remove fats from the blood. Eating a proper diet, exercising, drinking less alcohol, losing weight if overweight and quitting smoking alongside this medication will help lower cholesterol.
