14 November 2008, by After months of precipitous decline with nary a respite, the increasingly downward trend in Vytorin prescriptions has hit a pause. Of course, one month does not a trend make, but could this be the bottom? We confess that we do not know. In any event, the latest monthly data shows prescriptions were flat in October.
