What is Vytorin?

Vytorin is a combination cholesterol medication combining ezetimibe and simvastatin. Vytorin is used to lower the levels of “bad” cholesterol and triglycerides and to raise levels of “good” cholesterol. As well as taking Vytorin, you should also make lifestyle changes including exercise, eating a low-fat diet, stopping smoking and losing weight if overweight. Ezetimibe reduces the amount of cholesterol that the body absorbs from your diet while simvastatin reduces the amount of cholesterol that is made by the liver.

Always read the patient information and instructions carefully before using this medication. Follow your doctor’s directions.
