Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will evaluate:

1. the bioequivalence of simvastatin and simvastatin acid following dose of simvastatin (ZOCOR™) given together with one tablet of MK0524A or as a component of the triple combination tablet MK0524B.
2. the bioequivalence of laropiprant and ER niacin when administered as the triple combination tablet MK0524B or as the double combination tablet MK0524A given together with simvastatin.
