Vytorin (active ingredient: ezetimibe and simvastatin) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Hypercholesterolemia: Vytorin is used for the treatment of primary hypercholesterolemia (elevated levels of cholesterol in the blood) in adults and children aged 10 years and older. It helps to lower elevated levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), apolipoprotein B, and triglycerides, and to increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C).
  2. Mixed Dyslipidemia: It is also indicated for the treatment of mixed dyslipidemia, a condition characterized by elevated levels of both LDL-C and triglycerides, and low levels of HDL-C.

Vytorin belongs to a class of drugs known as lipid-lowering agents. It combines ezetimibe, which inhibits the absorption of cholesterol from the intestine, and simvastatin, which inhibits the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase involved in cholesterol synthesis in the liver. This combination helps to reduce cholesterol levels through complementary mechanisms of action.

Vytorin (Ezetimibe/Simvastatin) is available in tablet form to be taken orally with or without food as directed by a doctor. Take Vytorin at the same time each day to get the maximum benefits and to continue taking the medication, even if there are no noticeable changes in the condition. Do not increase the dosage or frequency unless prescribed.

The recommended dosage range for Vytorin is 10/10 mg/day to 10/40 mg/day, with the usual starting dose being 10/10 mg/day or 10/20 mg/day. The recommended dosage for patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia is 10/40 mg/day in the evening. Note that specific dosages should always be determined by a healthcare professional based on individual medical needs and history.

If taking bile acid-binding resins, such as cholestyramine or colestipol, to lower cholesterol, take Vytorin at least 2 hours before or 4 hours after the bile acid-binding resin to ensure proper absorption and effectiveness. As with any medication, follow the doctor’s instructions and report any side effects or concerns immediately.
