WHAT EZETIMIBE/
ATORVASTATIN GH IS
USED FOR
Ezetimibe/Atorvastatin GH helps
to lower cholesterol and
triglyceride levels. It is used in
people whose cholesterol and
triglyceride levels are too high
and when diet alone cannot
lower these levels adequately.
_WHAT IS HIGH CHOLESTEROL_
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 _
Triglycerides are another form of
fat in your blood that may
increase your risk for heart
disease.
_HEART DISEASE _
If you have heart disease and a
history of heart attack or
hospitalisation for unstable
angina (chest pain),
Ezetimibe/Atorvastatin GH
reduces the risk of heart attack,
stroke, surgery to increase heart
blood flow, or hospitalization for
chest pain.
