So a combination pill SAVES patients moneywith one co-pay rathar than paying two. Oh, by the way, Simcor is the same price as Niaspan alone if you pay out of pocket costs. Lili - What the...? Apples to Apples PLEASE! It is not the same thing as the 1960's honey. Do you even realise how many people are kept alive and healthy on anti-cholesterol lowering medications? Get educated.
