Karen of Green Bay WI (05/01/08)
I have been on Vytorin for two years. In the past couple months I have experienced pain and weakness in my legs. I also have pain in my arms and pain in my hands and shoulders. The pain has spread to my neck and jaw.
I had a CT calcium heart scan 12-04 in which my total coronary score was 80. After two years on Vytorin, not only did the Vytorin NOT reduce the plaque or keep it in check, my calcium score has risen to 171 which puts me at a moderate risk for atheroscherotic plaque and mild coronary artery disease highly likely.

I've taken vytorin for nearly a year, along with plavix aand aspirin. but, so far, vytorin has had no positive effect in my plaque buildup. i wonder if you know of class action lawyers intersted in this type issue?

I have been taking Vytorin for several years, just learned that no only does do no good, it might be contributing to my early death by building up plaque in my blood vessels.
I want a class action suit against not only Vytorin, but Osco Drugs who has neglected to watch over my interests and inform me of these facts, I had to learn them from television news coverage.
Even my doctor was waiting for god knows what to notify me that I should change drugs.
But Vytorin (it's makers) are the responsible parties, they made it.
It has cost me thousands of dollars over the past several years that I've been taking it, kept me from taking another drug that might have been better and possibly made my condition worse according to the reports and my cardiologist.

My doctor asked me to take a drug called Vytorin to help me lower my cholesterol level. I took Vytorin 3 or more months when I started to feel pain in my muscles and a weak feeling that came on slowly. I went back to my doctor, and she sent me for tests. About 2 weeks went by, and I got worse. I went into the hospital, and they said it was Vytorin that was killing me; they kept me for 2 weeks.
They put iv's in my arms for 2 weeks and drained all the Vytorin out of me. Iit was awful hard on me. I'm not sure how much money I paid the hospital. I still have trouble with my stomach and my blood pressure. I'm now 84 years old; my doctor told me I'm lucky to be alive.
