Ezetimibe tablets are a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. Ezetimibe tablets belongs to a class of drugs known as cholesterol absorption inhibitors. Ezetimibe works by reducing the amount of cholesterol absorbed by the body from the diet.
The cholesterol in our bodies are both good and bad; “good” cholesterol is known as HDL cholesterol, while “bad” cholesterol is known as LDL cholesterol. The active ingredient in Ezetimibe not only reduces the bad cholesterol (plus fatty substances called triglycerides), but it also increases the levels of good cholesterol. This is done by preventing the absorption in your digestive tract, however it does not help you lose weight. I
Ezetimibe is often used in conjunction with another kind of cholesterol-lowering medicine called statins, as it can increase their effectiveness.
No, Ezetimibe is not a statin. While statins are also commonly used to lower cholesterol, Ezetimibe works through a different mechanism of action. Statins inhibit the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which plays a role in cholesterol production in the liver. In contrast, Ezetimibe reduces cholesterol absorption in the small intestine.
LDL cholesterol is known as “bad” cholesterol because it can form plaque and build up in the walls of your arteries. Eventually, this build-up will become a narrowing, which can lead to other health problems such as high blood pressure, heart attack or stroke.
HDL cholesterol is known as “good” cholesterol because it works to counteract the LDL cholesterol; protecting against plaque build-up and protecting your heart and other vital organs.
If a healthy diet alone hasn’t helped your cholesterol levels, taking Ezetimibe will get this back to a normal amount.
Ezetimibe is a prescription-only medication. Always follow the advice of your doctor and read the patient information leaflet provided in the medication packet.
The typical starting dosage for Ezetimibe tablets is 10mg daily, taken at any time of the day. Ezetimibe tablets can be taken with or without food. Tablets should be taken whole and swallowed with a glass of water.
