Ezetimibe 10mg Tablets
SKU GME612Product Introduction
Ezetimibe 10mg tablet lowers LDL cholesterol by reducing cholesterol absorption from the intestine. It can be used with a statin or in selected patients for whom additional statin treatment is unsuitable.
How to use
Take consistently with or without food. If a bile-acid sequestrant is also prescribed, take ezetimibe at least two hours before or four hours after it.
How it works
Blocking the intestinal NPC1L1 transporter reduces uptake of dietary and biliary cholesterol, lowering cholesterol delivery to the liver.
Side effects
Diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort, joint pain or fatigue may occur; muscle and liver problems require particular attention with combination therapy.
Important information
Tell your doctor about liver disease and concurrent statins, fibrates or ciclosporin. Follow-up lipid testing is needed even when there are no cholesterol-related symptoms.
Uses
- Elevated LDL cholesterol
- selected inherited lipid disorders
Benefits
Helps lower LDL cholesterol when diet and existing cholesterol treatment have not achieved the target, including use alongside a statin or when statin treatment is limited by intolerance.
Is it a statin?
No. Ezetimibe reduces absorption; statins primarily reduce cholesterol synthesis in the liver.
Can it be combined with a statin?
Yes, when prescribed; combined treatment can lower LDL more than either mechanism alone.
Will I feel my cholesterol level fall?
Usually not. A blood lipid test is used to measure response.
Do diet changes still matter?
Yes. Dietary and other cardiovascular measures remain part of treatment.
Which muscle symptoms should be reported?
Unexplained muscle pain or weakness, especially with dark urine, needs prompt review.
Can cholestyramine reduce its effect?
Yes. Binding in the gut is why the medicines need separated administration.
Is it a weight-loss medicine?
No. Cholesterol reduction is distinct from losing body weight.
Can treatment stop after one normal lipid result?
A normal result may reflect ongoing treatment; discuss the longer-term cardiovascular plan before stopping.
