Brief Answer:
It is possible to take them together

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

You can take them together if you can't reach the desired cholesterol levels with lifestyle changes and Lipitor. But you should know that taking them together increases the possibility of adverse effects. So I would advise you at first to try only Lipitor with extensive diet and exercise, only if it doesn't help, add Ezetimibe.

Take care
