Brand overview
Vaskurel distributes a cardiovascular capsule in Nigeria through a direct order line with payment on receipt.
Its inclusion of red yeast rice puts it in a distinct position among the products covered here. Monacolin K is chemically identical to lovastatin, so the product carries statin-like effects, side effects and interactions at a dose that is not disclosed.

Frequently asked questions
Is red yeast rice a natural statin?
It contains monacolin K, which is chemically identical to lovastatin. Calling it natural does not change its pharmacology or its interactions.
Can I take it with my cholesterol medication?
Not without medical advice. Combining it with a prescribed statin risks muscle and liver effects.
