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?
