Description
Ezetrol (Ezetimibe) is an anti-hypercholesterolemia agent. It is typically used in addition to exercise and a healthy diet to lower cholesterol levels for people with high cholesterol. It may also be used with additional cholesterol-lowering medications known as “statins” or fenofibrate when either therapy alone is not sufficient to reduce cholesterol to desired levels. It may also have other uses.
