VYTORIN (EZETIMIBE/SIMVASTATIN)
Vytorin is a combination of ezetimibe (Zetia) and simvastatin (Zocor) that is used for treating high levels of cholesterol in the blood. Vytorin reduces total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL or “bad”) cholesterol while it increases high density lipoprotein (HDL or “good”) cholesterol. The ezetimibe component of Vytorin lowers blood cholesterol by blocking the absorption of cholesterol, including dietary cholesterol, from the intestine. It does not affect the absorption of triglycerides. The simvastatin component of Vytorin belongs to a class of drugs called HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, commonly called “statins.” Statins reduce cholesterol by blocking an enzyme in the liver (HMG-CoA reductase) that produces cholesterol. Statins lower total and LDL cholesterol in the blood as well as triglycerides. They also increase HDL cholesterol. LDL cholesterol is believed to be an important cause of coronary artery disease.
FORMS
Vytorin (Ezetimibe/Simvastatin) comes as a tablet that’s taken by mouth. The active drugs in Vytorin are ezetimibe and simvastatin.
Vytorin tablets are available in four strengths, which are given in milligrams (mg):
10 mg/10 mg (10 mg of ezetimibe/10 mg of simvastatin)
10 mg/20 mg (10 mg of ezetimibe/20 mg of simvastatin)
10 mg/40 mg (10 mg of ezetimibe/40 mg of simvastatin)
10 mg/80 mg (10 mg of ezetimibe/80 mg of simvastatin).
HOW TO USE VYTORIN (EZETIMIBE/SIMVASTATIN)
Take this Vytorin (Ezetimibe/Simvastatin) by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually once daily in the evening. The dosage is based on your medical condition, response to treatment, age, and other medications you may be taking. Be sure to tell your doctor and pharmacist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).
The usual maximum dose for the simvastatin in this medication is 40 milligrams a day. If you have been instructed by your doctor to take more than 40 milligrams of simvastatin, continue on that same dose. However, promptly talk with him or her about the risks and benefits of your higher dose. Do not increase your dose or take this medication more often than prescribed. Your condition will not improve any faster, and the risk of serious side effects may be increased. Avoid eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice while using this medication unless your doctor instructs you otherwise. Grapefruit can increase the amount of this medication in your bloodstream.
Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details. If you also take certain other drugs to lower your cholesterol (bile acid-binding resins such as cholestyramine or colestipol), take this product at least 2 hours before or at least 4 hours after taking these medications. These medications can react with this product, preventing its full absorption. Take this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. Remember to take it at the same time each day. Keep taking this medication even if you feel well.
HOW VYTORIN WORKS
VYTORIN reduces elevated total-cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides and increases HDL (good) cholesterol. VYTORIN works by decreasing the absorption of cholesterol in the small intestine and by reducing the amount of cholesterol made in the liver. VYTORIN does not help you lose weight. If you have heart disease and a history of heart attack or hospitalisation for unstable angina (chest pain), VYTORIN reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, surgery to increase heart blood flow, or hospitalisation for chest pain. Your doctor may have prescribed VYTORIN for another reason. Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why VYTORIN has been prescribed for you. VYTORIN is not addictive.

POSSIBLE QUESTIONS
WILL I NEED TO TAKE VYTORIN (EZETIMIBE/SIMVASTATIN) LONG TERM?
Vytorin (Ezetimibe/Simvastatin) is meant to be taken as a long-term treatment. If you and your doctor determine that Vytorin is safe and effective for you, you’ll likely take it long term. However, if you’re taking Vytorin 10 mg/80 mg, the length of your treatment may depend on whether you have certain side effects. This is because compared with lower doses, Vytorin 10 mg/80 mg is more likely to cause muscle problems (such as muscle pain and weakness). For this reason, you can only continue to take Vytorin 10 mg/80 mg* if you’ve taken this dosage for at least 12 months and you haven’t had muscle problems.
WILL VYTORIN (EZETIMIBE/SIMVASTATIN) MAKE ME LOSE OR GAIN WEIGHT?
No, Vytorin (Ezetimibe/Simvastatin) isn’t known to affect body weight. Taking it won’t help you to lose weight. And weight gain wasn’t reported in clinical studies of Vytorin. While you’re taking Vytorin, make sure to follow the low-cholesterol diet and exercise plan recommended by your healthcare provider. If you have concerns or questions about your weight, talk with your doctor. They can help you manage a weight that’s healthy for you.
