WHAT EZETROL IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
EZETROL is a medicine to lower increased levels of cholesterol.
EZETROL lowers levels of total cholesterol, "bad" cholesterol (LDL
cholesterol), and fatty substances
called triglycerides in the blood. In addition, EZETROL raises levels
of "good" cholesterol (HDL
cholesterol).
Ezetimibe, the active ingredient of EZETROL, works by reducing the
cholesterol absorbed in your
digestive tract.
EZETROL adds to the cholesterol-lowering effect of statins, a group of
medicines that reduce 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 arterie
