EZEDOC 10MG TABLETS (EZETIMIBE 10MG): A Cholesterol Absorption Inhibitor
EZEDOC 10MG TABLETS contain Ezetimibe 10mg, a cholesterol absorption inhibitor prescribed to lower elevated cholesterol levels in adults and certain pediatric patients. It is commonly used alongside a cholesterol-lowering diet and may be prescribed alone or in combination with statins to reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and improve overall lipid control.
Ezetimibe works by selectively reducing the absorption of cholesterol from the small intestine, lowering the amount of cholesterol delivered to the liver. This results in increased clearance of LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream. EZEDOC 10MG TABLETS are prescription-only and should be used together with healthy lifestyle measures, including diet, exercise, and weight management, for optimal cardiovascular benefit.

How EZEDOC 10MG TABLETS (EZETIMIBE 10MG) Works
Ezetimibe selectively inhibits the Niemann-Pick C1-Like 1 (NPC1L1) transporter located in the brush border of the small intestine. By blocking cholesterol absorption, it decreases the amount of cholesterol reaching the liver. The liver compensates by increasing LDL receptor activity, resulting in enhanced removal of LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream while having minimal effects on the absorption of triglycerides or fat-soluble vitamins.
