Wow, that is good news. Some doctors are reluctant to use these two combos because of the heart. I think my doctor is one of those but I will find out tomorrow. I don't know if it would be an option for me because I stopped it two days ago because I was feeling so awful. I think my body was telling me it had had enough. I feel so much better since I stopped it. I noticed about two hours after taking it I would feel so sick but could not explain how I was feeling except I just wanted to roll in up and die. Boy, our bodies sure have a way of letting us know when it doesn't like something or it has had enough. hugs, Sandy
