Abbott received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for SIMCOR(R), the first fixed-dose combination of two widely prescribed cholesterol therapies, Niaspan(R) (Abbott's proprietary niacin extended-release) and simvastatin. SIMCOR is approved for use along with diet to lower levels of elevated total cholesterol, LDL "bad" cholesterol and triglycerides, and to raise HDL "good" cholesterol in patients with complex lipid disease when treatment with simvastatin or Niaspan monotherapies are not considered adequate.
