Ezetimibe

Ezetimibe 10mg Tablet

Ezetimibe is a cholesterol-lowering medication that works by reducing cholesterol absorption in the small intestine. It is often used as an adjunct to diet and lifestyle changes or in combination with statins to further reduce LDL cholesterol levels. Unlike statins, ezetimibe does not inhibit cholesterol synthesis in the liver, offering a unique and well-tolerated mechanism of action with minimal side effects. Emerging research suggests potential benefits beyond cholesterol control, including reducing markers of inflammation and possibly lowering the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.
