VYTORIN® (ezetimibe/simvastatin) Significantly Reduced Cardiovascular Events More than Simvastatin Alone in Patients Presenting with Acute Coronary Syndromes in the Investigational IMPROVE-IT Study

The investigational IMPROVE-IT study met its primary and all secondary composite efficacy endpoints. In IMPROVE-IT, patients taking the LDL-cholesterol-lowering medicine VYTORIN® (ezetimibe/simvastatin) – which combines simvastatin with the non-statin ZETIA® (ezetimibe) — experienced significantly fewer major cardiovascular events than patients treated with simvastatin alone (Merck)
