8 reviews for Simvastatin + Ezetimibe (Vytorin)
Vytorin combines two cholesterol medicines in one tablet: simvastatin and ezetimibe. It lowers "bad" LDL cholesterol more than simvastatin alone.
What is it used for?
- High cholesterol that needs more than one medicine
How does it work?
Simvastatin lowers the amount of cholesterol made in the liver. Ezetimibe lowers the amount of cholesterol absorbed from food in the gut. Together they bring cholesterol down in two ways.
