For High Cholesterol "I broke out in hives, my skin felt like it was on fire, and my face was burning red all the way down my neck, back, and arms. Felt like I was going to itch to death. It happened about once every 2 to 3 days."

For Hyperlipoproteinemia "I am experiencing very brittle nails and have been on Simcor for at least 6 months. My nails are constantly breaking down to the quick and splitting. I suspect the reason is the Simcor, as I had healthy normal nails prior to taking this drug. However, I am also going through menopause, so this probably doesn't help. My cholesterol levels have improved, but I will discuss this possible side effect with my cardiologist at the next visit."

For High Cholesterol "Simcor 1000-20 is what I take one time a day at bedtime. I have experienced side effects, but the good outweighs the bad. Make sure you don't have spicy foods or peppers that are hot. This will cause flushing. Also, make sure you read all about the side effects, like you can't eat certain foods."

For High Cholesterol "Been taking 2 Simcor tablets daily. Was on 10 mg Lipitor and 145 mg Tricor. Cholesterol was okay, but my triglycerides went over 500. Tricor has been added to Simcor now. LDL and HDL did improve."

For High Cholesterol "I have been taking Simcor for almost a year. It did wonders for my high cholesterol but caused significant hair thinning, so I stopped taking it. I know this caused it because it was the only thing I was taking and my doctor agrees with me. He said it is a side effect of cholesterol medicines with some people. I would rather have my hair than low cholesterol. It is a gradual loss that takes a few months to show up. Afraid to try any other brands for fear they will do the same thing."
