Ezetrol 10mg Tablet is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredient ezetimibe (10 mg per tablet). It is primarily used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood, often in combination with other cholesterol-lowering medicines like statins (e.g., atorvastatin, simvastatin) or on its own if statins are not suitable.
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.

Ezetimibe works by blocking the absorption of cholesterol in the small intestine. This leads to a reduction in the amount of cholesterol that enters the bloodstream.
