Simvastatin/sitagliptin is a fixed-dose combination drug consisting of sitagliptin and simvastatin. Sitagliptin is used to treat for type 2 diabetes and simvastatin is used to treat hypercholesterolemia. 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 is marketed as Juvisync by Merck.
