FDA approves VYTORIN, first and only to powerfully reduce LDL cholesterol through dual inhibition

d with a low incidence of adverse events

VYTORIN has been evaluated for safety in more than 3,800 patients in clinical trials and was generally well tolerated at all doses (10/10 mg, 10/20 mg, 10/40 mg, 10/80 mg). In clinical trials, the most commonly reported side effects, regardless of cause, included headache (6.8 percent), upper respiratory tract infection (3.9 percent), myalgia (3.5 percent), influenza (2.6 percent), and extremity pain (2.3 percent).

Pricing and availability for VYTORIN

The price of VYTORIN will be $2.34 at all doses. This means that the significant LDL cholesterol reductions of VYTORIN are available to patients, physicians and payors at a price that is very competitive with other first-line agents in the marketplace. VYTORIN will be broadly available in pharmacies in the near future.
