How soon does vytorin (ezetimibe and simvastatin) start showing its affect in lowering cholesterol level. does it also lower hdl level and increase bilirubin?

8 weeks: I know what u asked, but wait 8 weeks to see the FULL effect. It may affect SGOT/PT/CK, but should not affect alkaline phosphatase or bilirubin
