Hi NY,

Yes, I take this at a 10/20.
It gave me angelic numbers ! I haven't felt anything bad from it all all and the Pharmacists, ACTUALLY BOTH Pharmacists..one at Walmart and one at Giant Eagle said they have no reported problems whatsoever of those using it .

Under "Search This Board", right hand side of page do a search on "Vytorin" and you will have a better picture of this medication. For me Vytorin was hell. I suggest you read the posts.

After being on the Statin Circuit, Vytorin (I believe 10/20) gave me awesome numbers but my doc wanted to switch me to another (advicore) which brought my numbers right back to where they originally were. My doctor put me on a double dose of Advicore and my numbers still didn't budge.

Needless to say, I now have a new doctor... and am on Vytorin again. My next blood test is the first week of April if you want to stay tuned.

Dave,

I am very interested in your results on Vytorin. Please keep us posted, hopefully in this thread.

One thought on Vytorin....The reason you probably did better is the Zetia portion of Vytorin. It blocks cholesterol in the intestinal tract before your body can even take it up. A novel concept in my mind !

Keep us informed.
