This is a combination of two medicines used to treat high cholesterol. Ezetimibe works by reducing the amount of cholesterol that your body absorbs from your diet. Simvastatin is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor or "statin". Vytorin works by blocking an enzyme that is necessary for your body to make cholesterol. Vytorin is used in combination with a low-cholesterol and low-fat diet. Keeping your cholesterol level under control may reduce your risk of heart problems and stroke. Vytorin is not a cure for high cholesterol, but may help to control it. Vytorin may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.
