In addition, VYTORIN raises levels of HDL (good) cholesterol. VYTORIN is for patients who cannot control their cholesterol levels by diet alone. You should stay on a cholesterol- lowering diet while taking this medicine. If you have heart disease, VYTORIN reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, surgery to increase heart blood flow, or hospitalization for chest pain. WHY HAS MY DOCTOR PRESCRIBED VYTORIN? Your doctor has prescribed VYTORIN to reduce the amount of cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood. Cholesterol is one of several fatty substances found in the bloodstream. Your total cholesterol is made up mainly of LDL and HDL cholesterol. LDL cholesterol is often called “bad” cholesterol because it can build up in the walls of your arteries forming plaque.
