How it works

Rosuvastatin is a statin that inhibits HMG‑CoA reductase in the liver, reducing cholesterol synthesis and increasing LDL receptor activity to clear LDL from blood. Ezetimibe inhibits intestinal absorption of cholesterol by blocking NPC1L1 transporter, reducing delivery of cholesterol to the liver. Together they produce greater LDL reduction than either alone.

Directions for use

If also taking bile-acid sequestrants (e.g., cholestyramine), take this tablet at least 2 hours before or 4 hours after them. Continue diet/exercise and do not stop without medical advice.
