適応症:

Therapy with lipid-altering agents should be only one component of multiple risk factor intervention in individuals at significantly increased risk for atherosclerotic vascular disease due to hypercholesterolemia. Drug therapy is indicated as an adjunct to diet when the response to a diet restricted in saturated fat and cholesterol and other nonpharmacologic measures alone has been inadequate. Ezetimibe and simvastatin tablets are indicated for the reduction of elevated total cholesterol (total-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), apolipoprotein B (Apo B), triglycerides (TG), and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), and to increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in patients with primary (heterozygous familial and non-familial) hyperlipidemia or mixed hyperlipidemia. Ezetimibe and simvastatin tablets are indicated for the reduction of elevated total-C and LDL-C in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, as an adjunct to other lipid-lowering treatments

increase HDL-C in patients with
primary (heterozygous familial and non-familial) hyperlipidemia or
mixed hyperlipidemia. (1.1)
reduce elevated total-C and LDL-C in patients with homozygous familial
hypercholesterolemia (HoFH),
as an adjunct to other lipid-lowering treatments. (1.2)
Limitations of Use (1.3)
No incremental benefit of ezetimibe and simvastatin tablets on

Dose range is 10/10 mg/day to 10/40 mg/day. (2.1)
Recommended usual starting dose is 10/10 or 10/20 mg/day. (2.1)
Due to the increased risk of myopathy, including rhabdomyolysis, use
of the 10/80-mg dose of
ezetimibe and simvastatin tablets should be restricted to patients who
have been taking ezetimibe and
simvastatin tablets 10/80 mg chronically (e.g., for 12 months or more)
without evidence of muscle
toxicity. (2.2)
Patients who are currently tolerating the 10/80-mg dose of ezetimibe
and simvastatin tablets who need
to be initiated on an interacting drug that is contraindicated or is
associated with a dose cap for
simvastatin should be switched to an alternative statin or
statin-based regimen with less potential for
the drug-drug interaction. (
