Vytorin (ezetimibe/simvastatin) for High Cholesterol: Since changing from Lipitor to Vytorin my chloesterol went from 250 to 170. Mt doctor increased the dose to 10/80 and now it is in the 130's. I am very happy with the drug and no harmful side effects.

Vytorin (ezetimibe/simvastatin) for High Cholesterol: My last labs were awesome. My doctor was quite pleased. Both my LDL and triglycerides were way down and in the low normal range. No small feat since I have had Type 1 diabetes for 31 years.

Vytorin (ezetimibe/simvastatin) for High Cholesterol: Lowered cholesterol from high 250s to 130 in 8 months with no noticable side effects. My doctor is lowering the dosage level- want to see if I can keep the numbers down on a lower dose.
