I am also on Vytorin but thinking of calling my physician to request a change. It is so upsetting and the more articles I read on the net just confuse me more.

I have been taking Vytorin for a year. I am extremely pleased with the numbers for my LDL (lower) and it seems to have improved my HDL (higher). However, I read in the Harvard Health Letter (HHL April 2008, p.1), to which I subscribe, the following:”There’s been bad news about … and most recently, the cholesterol-lowering combination of ezetimibe and simvastatin (Vytorin).” Another issue of the HHL implied that one might be worse off taking Vytorin than a straight statin, such as simvastatin (Zocor), which I used to take. I’m truly nonplussed. What should I do? I’m inclined to stay with Vytorin, but I’d sure like someone to address this issue more carefully. Will someone please give me a straight answer?
