Ezetimibe is a potent and selective inhibitor of cholesterol absorption that has been shown to reduce the overall delivery of cholesterol to the liver, thereby promoting the synthesis of LDL receptors, with a subsequent reduction of serum LDL-C.
Absorption of ezetimibe is rapid and not altered by food content following oral administration. The drug is not metabolized by the cytochrome P450 system but extensive glucuronidation takes place in the intestine. Consequently, plasma concentrations of ezetimibe represent approximately 10% of total ezetimibe in plasma.
Atorvastatin acid is extensively metabolised in both the gut and liver by oxidation, lactonisation and glucuronidation, and the metabolites are eliminated by biliary secretion and direct secretion from blood to the intestine.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
