Ezetimibe lowers cholesterol in a different way from statins: it reduces the amount of cholesterol absorbed from food in the gut. It is used for high cholesterol, alone or added to a statin such as atorvastatin or rosuvastatin. It comes as 10 mg tablets; the original brands are Ezetrol and Zetia.
Tell your doctor if you have or have ever had liver disease. Get emergency help for hives, rash, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or swelling of the face or throat (MedlinePlus).
