Product Description
 
Ezetimibe, Atorvastatin tablets 10 mg/80 mg
What Ezetimibe, Atorvastatin is and what it is used for:
• This medicine contains the active substances ezetimibe and Atorvastatin. This medicine is used to lower levels of total cholesterol, “bad” cholesterol (LDL cholesterol), and fatty substances called triglycerides in the blood. In addition, EZETIMIBE, ATORVASTATIN raises levels of “good” cholesterol (HDL cholesterol).
• EZETIMIBE, ATORVASTATIN works to reduce your cholesterol in two ways. The active ingredient ezetimibe reduces the cholesterol absorbed in your digestive tract. The active ingredient Atorvastatin belonging to the class of “statins” inhibits the production of the cholesterol your body makes by itself.
• Cholesterol is one of several fatty substances found in the bloodstream. Your total cholesterol is made up mainly of LDL and HDL cholesterol.
• LDL cholesterol is often called “bad” cholesterol because it can build up in the walls of your arteries forming plaque. Eventually this plaque build-up can lead to a narrowing of the arteries. This narrowing can slow or block blood flow to vital organs such as the heart and brain. This blocking of blood flow can result in a heart attack or stroke.
• HDL cholesterol is often called “good” cholesterol because it helps keep the bad cholesterol from building up in the arteries and protects against heart disease.
• Triglycerides are another form of fat in your blood that may increase your risk for heart disease.
• EZETIMIBE, ATORVASTATIN is used for patients who cannot control their cholesterol levels by diet alone. You should stay on a cholesterol-lowering diet while taking this medicine.
EZETIMIBE, ATORVASTATIN is used in addition to your cholesterol-lowering diet if you have:
• a raised cholesterol level in your blood (primary hypercholesterolaemia [heterozygous familial and non-familial]) or elevated fat levels in your blood (mixed hyperlipidaemia):
o that is not well controlled with a statin alone,
o for which you have used a statin and ezetimibe as separate tablets.
• a hereditary illness (homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia) that increases the cholesterol level in your blood. You may also receive other treatments.
• heart disease, EZETIMIBE, ATORVASTATIN reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, surgery to increase heart blood flow, or hospitalisation for chest pain.
EZETIMIBE, ATORVASTATIN does not help you lose weight.
