Zetia Information:
Zetia (generic name: Ezetimibe) is a drug prescribed for the treatment of high cholesterol in adults and children. Ezetimibe works by decreasing the amount of cholesterol that is absorbed by the intestines. It is also prescribed to treat high blood sitosterol and campesterol. Some of your cholesterol is carried as high density lipoprotein (HDL), which is mostly protein and a small amount of cholesterol. Most of your cholesterol is carried as low density lipoprotein (LDL), which is mostly cholesterol with a smaller amount of protein. Very low density lipoproteins (VLDLs) are another type of fat called triglyceride which is fat from your diet. A healthy person has plenty of HDL, and less LDL and VLDL. Higher levels of LDL and VLDL can cause fatty deposits in the blood vessels. Zetia is proven to lower bad cholesterol levels (LDLs) and triglycerides in the blood. Patients with high cholesterol levels may not experience any symptoms, and the only way to check cholesterol levels is through a cholesterol test by your doctor. High cholesterol, if left untreated, can lead to heart disease which can be fatal. Zetia is part of a treatment plan which may include a low fat and low cholesterol diet.
