Sitagliptin/simvastatin

Sitagliptin/simvastatin, sold under the brand name Juvisync, is a fixed-dose combination anti-diabetic medication used to treat type 2 diabetes and hypercholesterolemia. It contains sitagliptin and simvastatin. Sitagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor and simvastatin is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor. These two disorders commonly occur in patients at the same time, and have been typically treated with administration of these two drugs in separate tablets. The combination was approved in 2011, and sold under the brand name Juvisync by Merck. Juvisync was later removed from the market in 2013, due to business reasons.
