Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.Simcor is actually the combination of simvastatin and niacin usually in extended release form.So you can take both drugs separately also according to the dosage included which is niacin 500 and simvastatin 20.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
