Vytorin Side Effects

Updated

I just started taking 10 mg of Vytorin 1x day. I read it has many side effects. Does any one out there have any advice on this drug and what I should watch for as far as side effects.

Ohhhhhhh, please! Say it isn't so! I recently started on Vytorin as well but I've not noticed anything weird. I don't know a thing about it except it replaces two other meds I was on. Hopefully, neither of us experiences any side effects.

Husband started this a few months ago. Now he has terrible swelling of both legs, ankles and feet. Also having trouble with hip joints and knees. Having much difficulty with walking. I'm a nurse so plan on him stopping this until we can see our doctor.

Fortunately, I have not had any of the disturbing 'side effects' from Vytorin.
My question is: when to take it? Some say at night to counteract what has been eaten - others say anytime. I take it in the a.m. first thing. . . ?
