Product Overview
About EZETROL
EZETROL is a prescription medication containing the active ingredient Ezetimibe, used to treat high cholesterol and certain other conditions. It works by reducing the amount of cholesterol absorbed by the body, thereby helping to lower cholesterol levels in the blood.
Key Benefits & Uses
- Treatment of primary hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol) in adults and children aged 10 years and older
- Treatment of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (a rare genetic disorder that causes very high cholesterol levels)
- Combination therapy with statins to reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels in patients who cannot tolerate statins or require additional cholesterol-lowering therapy
Active Ingredient & Action
Ezetimibe is a cholesterol absorption inhibitor that works by binding to a protein in the small intestine, preventing the absorption of cholesterol from food. This leads to a reduction in the amount of cholesterol available for transport into the bloodstream, resulting in lower cholesterol levels.
Important Notes
EZETROL should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. It may cause side effects such as muscle pain, liver damage, and allergic reactions. Patients with liver disease or kidney disease should use EZETROL with caution. It is also essential to follow a healthy diet and exercise regularly to achieve optimal cholesterol-lowering results.
