INDICATIONS
Vytorin is employed for treating high-cholesterol as well as a cholesterol-lowering diet. Vytorin is often a mixture of 2 medicines. Ezetimibe operates by reducing the amount of cholesterol your body absorbs from the diet. Simvastatin is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor or "statin." It operates by blocking an enzyme which is required for one's body to produce cholesterol. Lowering cholesterol levels in the blood decreases the potential for cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, and strokes. Vytorin is not shown to reduce cardiac arrest or strokes over simvastatin alone.
