Tiginor EZ 10/10 (a combination of atorvastatin and ezetimibe), which is used to treat high cholesterol.Â
Atorvastatin is a statin that works by inhibiting an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase. This enzyme is responsible for producing LDL (low-density lipoprotein) or “bad” cholesterol in the liver. By blocking this enzyme, atorvastatin helps lower LDL cholesterol levels and raises HDL (high-density lipoprotein) or “good” cholesterol, which helps remove LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream.
Ezetimibe works by preventing the absorption of cholesterol from the intestines. It reduces the amount of cholesterol that enters the bloodstream from the food you eat and from bile, further contributing to lower cholesterol levels.
