Description:
Atorvastatin 10mg + Ezetimibe 10mg is a dual-action lipid-lowering medication used to treat high cholesterol and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Atorvastatin is a statin that reduces the production of cholesterol in the liver by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, thus lowering LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides while raising HDL (good cholesterol). Ezetimibe works by blocking the absorption of cholesterol from the intestine. Together, this combination offers a synergistic effect, making it especially effective for patients who do not achieve target cholesterol levels with statins alone. It is commonly prescribed for patients with hyperlipidemia, mixed dyslipidemia, and those at risk of atherosclerosis or coronary artery disease.
