Vytorin for cholesterol
Q. I don't understand the problem with Vytorin. The two components when used separately work fine, but when mixed together things change. Why?
A. Doctors have three ways to judge if a cholesterol-lowering drug "works": Does it lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol? Does it improve arteries? And — most importantly — does it reduce the risk of heart attacks and other cardiovascular events?
