[NPInfo] Question from Dave

[Becky Bolling]

Dave and Michael,

So what is the news with Vytorin? Interestingly, enough I had a 43 yo
patient (high school statistics teacher) who is on Zytorin come in last week
and tell me that he had read some new studies about it that were unfavorable
and thought maybe he shouldn't be on it anymore. He sees a cardiologist who
put him on it in 2006 s/p bypass and so I told him I would recheck his
cholesterol and consult with his cardiologist and get back to him.

What have you heard about Zytorin and can you give me a link to reference
new information about it.

Rebecca

Dave,
I pulled my samples and left them on top of my closet.  The reps have NOT
contacted me nor have they been in the office.  Of note, one did show up at
office #1 (where I don't see pts but my employee MD does) and say everything
is cool. So no Zetia or Vytorin from me at this time.
