Advicor is a cholesterol-lowering medication that blocks the production of cholesterol (a type of fat) in the body. Advicor is taken orally. It is a combination of extended-release niacin and lovastatin.
Lovastatin blocks the production of cholesterol (a type of fat) in the body. Niacin, also known as nicotinic acid, is vitamin B3. Niacin also blocks the production of cholesterol in the body. This may help prevent medical problems caused by cholesterol and fat clogging the blood vessels.
