WHITEHOUSE STATION, N.J. & KENILWORTH, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Results from a clinical study conducted in 1,229 patients with type II diabetes mellitus and high cholesterol showed that VYTORIN (ezetimibe/simvastatin) provided superior reduction in LDL “bad” cholesterol compared to Lipitor® (atorvastatin) at the dose comparisons studied, according to data published in the December 2006 issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings. The primary efficacy endpoint was the percent change from baseline in LDL cholesterol at the end of the six-week treatment period.
