What You Should Know About Vytorin and the ENHANCE Study I’ve heard about the ENHANCE drug study in the news. What exactly is it? The ENHANCE study compared Vytorin to Zocor . Vytorin contains ezetimibe and simvastatin, two medicines that lower LDL (bad) cholesterol. Zocor contains simvastatin only. (Ezetimibe is sold by itself too, as Zetia ). The goal of the EN
