"Vytorin" Pronounce,Meaning And Examples

"Vytorin" Meaning

VYTORIN is a prescription medication used to treat high cholesterol and a combination of conditions known as combined hyperlipidemia. The generic name is ezetimibe/simvastatin. It is a combination of ezetimibe, which reduces the body's ability to absorb cholesterol and simvastatin, a statin that helps lower cholesterol in the blood.

It works by inhibiting the absorption of cholesterol in the small intestine and also lowers the amount of LDL ("bad") cholesterol produced by the liver and increases the amount of HDL ("good") cholesterol.

VYTORIN is typically prescribed for people with high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, also known as "bad" cholesterol, and/or high levels of triglycerides, a fat found in the blood. It may be prescribed alone or with other medications to help manage these conditions and reduce the risk of heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.
