Atorvastatin, Ezetimibe

Atorvastatin and Ezetimibe is a combination medication used to lower high cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. Atorvastatin is a statin drug that works by reducing the amount of cholesterol made by the liver. Ezetimibe, on the other hand, helps to block the absorption of cholesterol from the food we eat.
This medication is primarily prescribed for individuals with high cholesterol levels who are at risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attack or stroke. It is also used to slow down the progression of atherosclerosis, a condition where plaque builds up in the arteries, causing them to narrow and harden.
Atorvastatin and Ezetimibe work together to provide a more effective cholesterol-lowering effect than when each drug is used alone. It is important to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions and maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, to achieve the best results from this medication.
As with any medication, there may be potential side effects, such as gastrointestinal issues, muscle pain, or liver problems. Report any adverse reactions to your healthcare provider promptly. Regular monitoring of your cholesterol levels and liver function is necessary to ensure the safe and effective use of Atorvastatin and Ezetimibe.
