EZETIMED 10 (Ezetimibe)

Description

Ezetimibe is a medication used to lower high cholesterol levels.

Ezetimibe lowers the levels of total cholesterol, “bad” cholesterol (LDL cholesterol), and triglycerides circulating in the blood. In addition, ezetimibe raises levels of “good” cholesterol (HDL cholesterol).

Ezetimibe works by reducing cholesterol absorbed in the digestive tract.

Ezetimibe also adds to the cholesterol-lowering effect of statins, a group of drugs that lower cholesterol made by the body itself.
