Vytorin® is commonly prescribed for the treatment of high cholesterol and high triglycerides in the blood. The medication, which is a combination of ezetimibe and simvastatin, causes the liver to make less cholesterol, which increases the liver's ability to collect and remove LDL cholesterol. It also blocks the absorption of cholesterol from the intestines into the blood. Four different strengths of Vytorin are available, and the drug should be taken once a day, usually in the evening.
