Can Red Rice Extract be used with prescription Cholesterol lowering drugs?

I had been told to use Red (Yeast) Rice Extract as a natural way to lower my Cholesterol. After talking to a friend who is on a perscription to lower her cholesterol I was wondering if anyone knew if it was "safe" to use the two in combination.

A study in China recently found Red Rice Yeast Extract to be more effective than satins for dealing with heart disease. Since satins are dervied from Red Rice Yeast Extract, this makes sense.
So basically, that means if your cholesterol drug specifically says "don't take with satins" it would be a bad idea, otherwise it's a good one. It's unusual for a cholesterol drug to be incompatible with satins, so my gut hunch is yet, but I'd check just to make sure.

Hope that helps!

I don't think this red rice extract will help you.

I recomend one DIVINE INDIAN NONI for you along with green tea capsules which is [providing excellents reuslts for controlling cholestrol.
