Gemfibrozil and Simvistatin
My doctor has prescribed both Gemfibrozil and Simvistatin for cholesteral control. Both are described here as "... to reduce the amount of cholesterol and certain fatty substances in your blood."

What I'm wondering is whether this is a reasonable combination or if only one of the two is actually needed? Or do they act differently enough so as to actually compliment the effects of each other?

Production of Trazadone
See answer above. That is how I arrived at this board. But I don't get it. This might not be the manufacturer? Perhaps we need to research Pharmaceutical World or trazodone + .com.
Trazodone is the generic name for desyrel.
I think the drug is so old that whoever manufactured desyrel doesn't anymore as I did enter desyrel + .com and came up with nothing using MSN search. Hmm......

But do check out this cool link which I found here (!) too regarding all generic drugs:

Metoprolol and Lisinopril
Both of these drugs are for treatment of high blood pressure. In the forum descriptions "heart desease" is also included for Lisinopril.

Since both drugs help with high blood pressure, why would the doctor prescribe both rather than just a higher dosage of the Lisinopril?
