10 mg / 10 mg 30 tablets

This medicine contains the active ingredients ezetimibe and atorvastatin. This medicine is used to lower total cholesterol levels, "bad" cholesterol (LDL cholesterol), and fats called triglycerides in the blood. Additionally, ezetimibe and atorvastatin raise "good" cholesterol (HDL cholesterol). Ezetimibe, along with atorvastatin, lowers cholesterol in two ways. The active ingredient ezetimibe reduces the absorption of cholesterol in the digestive system. The active ingredient atorvastatin, which belongs to the "statin" class, prevents the production of cholesterol that your body makes on its own. Cholesterol is one of the many fats present in the bloodstream. Total cholesterol mainly consists of LDL and HDL cholesterol. LDL cholesterol, called "bad" cholesterol, can accumulate in the walls of arteries forming deposits. The buildup of these plaques can eventually narrow the arteries. This narrowing can slow or block blood flow to vital organs such as the heart and brain. Blocking blood flow can lead to a heart attack or stroke. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is often called "good" cholesterol because it helps prevent the buildup of bad cholesterol in the arteries and protects against heart disease. Triglycerides are another form of fat in the blood that may increase the risk of heart disease. Ezetimibe and atorvastatin are used for patients who cannot control their cholesterol levels through diet alone. You should follow a cholesterol-lowering diet while taking this medicine. Ezetimibe and atorvastatin are used in addition to your diet to lower cholesterol if you have: high blood cholesterol levels (primary hypercholesterolemia [heterozygous familial and non-familial]) or high blood fats (mixed hyperlipidemia): not well controlled with statins alone, where statin and ezetimibe are used as separate tablets. a hereditary disease (homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia) that increases blood cholesterol levels. You may also receive other treatments. Heart disease, ezetimibe, atorvastatin reduces the risk of heart attacks, strokes, surgery to increase blood flow to the heart, or hospital treatment for chest pain. Ezetimibe and atorvastatin do not help you lose weight.
