Guest guest Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 , I have not taken that, (or any other medication for choloesterol), but it is my understanding that high doses of Niacin may be useful to reduce cholesterol. If you google it you should be able to come up with dosafes. mtadros9@... wrote: Did any one have try the following supplement BIOS2LIFE for lowering cholestrol while taking gleevec?

I was advised by a phrmacist to try the BIOS2LIFE product. Please let me know if you are familiar with this product.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Please be aware the Niacin can also have side effects. My husband was prescribed Niacin for high cholesterol and he broke out in the worst case of hives I have ever seen. So be careful with it even though an Rx is not required.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Niacin does give off a very red hue until the body adjusts to it. If you start in smaller dosages and work your way up to maximum dosage, it isn't as bad. Metaksa <tmetaksa@...> wrote:Please be aware the Niacin can also have side effects.

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 , I was in the process of trying this product just before my CML diagnosis. My family medicine doctor was taking it for weight loss and high cholesterol. Unfortunately, I took about 3 days worth - then my focus changed to my CML, so I didn't have time to follow up on it. Of course, the interferon lowered everything for me, so I haven't had to worry about the cholesterol until this year. My doctor did NOT want me to take Lipitor, (not sure why) so I'm now taking Zetia (for high triglycerides and cholesterol). Hope this helps, Gale Bacon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
