Did you mean a generic version of Vytorin?

No there isn't.

Vytorin contains a combination of ezetimibe and simvastatin. Vytorin is used to treat high cholesterol in adults and children who are at least 10 years old.

Ezetimibe reduces the amount of cholesterol absorbed by the body.

Simvastatin is in a group of drugs called HMG CoA reductase inhibitors, or "statins." Simvastatin reduces levels of "bad" cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein, or LDL) and triglycerides in the blood, while increasing levels of "good" cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein, or HDL).
