Ezetrol Information:

Buy Ezetrol

Ezetrol (Ezetimibe) is used to treat hypercholesterolemia and primary hyperlipidemia. It is used to lower elevated levels of LDL-C (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides in the blood and is frequently used in conjunction with other medications such as statins along with lifestyle/dietary changes to achieve better cholesterol control. Good cholesterol control helps to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as stroke and heart attack. The active ingredient in Ezetrol is ezetimibe, which belongs to a class of drugs known as selective cholesterol-absorption inhibitors. Ezetimibe works by inhibiting the absorption of cholesterol from the small intestine. It targets a protein that plays a key role in cholesterol absorption. By blocking this protein, Ezetimibe reduces the uptake of cholesterol from food, leading to lower levels of cholesterol in the bloodstream.
