Q. I seem to be fine with Passion RX until I take my cholesterol medicine - Pravachol. Then the side effects set in such as flush (red) face, hot heart, etc.
I even waited a day after to take the Pravachol, but still same results. Do you make a cholesterol medicine that would reduce cholesterol, yet, be safe to take with Passion RX?
   A. Sometimes unexpected side effects occur when drugs are combined with herbal products. you may consider taking a look at cholesterol page and discuss with your doctor natural options to Pravachol use. Also, sometimes reducing the dosage of the Passion Rx could make a difference, perhaps you could take 2/3 or half of the amount you are now taking, or taking the Passion Rx less frequently.
