Ezechol 10 Mg, Reduce Blood Cholesterol Level & Prevent Hyperlipidemia Complications - 30 Tablets

Ezetimibe is a potent and selective inhibitor of cholesterol absorption that has been shown to reduce the overall delivery of cholesterol to the liver, thereby promoting the synthesis of LDL receptors, with a subsequent reduction of serum LDL

It is used to lower lipids known as cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood when a low-fat diet and lifestyle changes on their own have failed.
Cholesterol is a naturally occurring substance in the body necessary for normal growth. However, if there is too much cholesterol in your blood, it can build up on blood vessel walls, increasing the risk of blood clots and cardiovascular events. This is one of the most common causes of heart disease.
You should maintain a standard cholesterol-lowering diet during treatment.

Always take Ezetimibe exactly as your doctor has told you.
Continue taking your other cholesterol-lowering medicines unless your doctor tells you to stop. You should check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
Before starting Ezetimibe, you should be on a diet to lower your cholesterol.
You should keep on this cholesterol-lowering diet whilst taking Ezetimibe.
The recommended dose is one Ezetimibe 10 mg Tablet by mouth once a day.
Take Ezetimibe at any time of the day. You can take it with or without food.
If your doctor has prescribed Ezetimibe along with a statin, both medicines can be taken at the same time.
If your doctor has prescribed Ezetimibe along with any medicine containing cholestyramine, colestipol, or colesevelam, you should take Ezetimibe at least 2 hours before or 4 hours after taking the other medicine.
Doses may be changed in special conditions so always follow your doctor's or pharmacist's instructions.
If you take more than you should, talk to a doctor or go to the hospital straight away.
