Flushed face and sweating from Vytorin

My 58 year old wife has tolerated vytorin well for the past couple of years. The only complaint she had was a dry cough. More recently she has been experiencing flushing of the face along with excessive perspiration. Can anyone relate to those symptoms?

Hi Constable and Welcome to the Forum,

Dry cough is a common statin side effect.
Re: flushing of the face along with excessive perspiration
Has your wife gone through the menopause yet? Sounds like she's having 'hot flashes'.
Theraputic doses of niacin can also cause face flushing.
