Comment:
Ldl started at 196, took Vytorin for 3 months and LdL was 99. Some weakness, but seems to offset, by staying active and walking at least 2 miles a day. Feel much better.

Comment:
I am a 43 old male, I have taken Vytorin for over 2 years. My overall cholesterol is lower, but my LDL is still high and my HDL is low. This 2 enzyme drug is not effective in this respect. A primary reason for this medication is to lower the LDL levels, and raise the HDL level. It is critical to understand your overall level to see what madication fits your profile.

Comment:
I have used this drug over a year now. The only side affect was depression when taken in the morning. This subsided when I started taking it at bedtime. Otherwise no side affects at all.
