Ezetimibe: Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, and More

Ezetimibe is a prescription cholesterol-lowering medication that works by reducing cholesterol absorption in the small intestine, thereby lowering “bad” LDL and total cholesterol while modestly increasing “good” HDL cholesterol. It can be used alone or with statins to help manage hyperlipidemia or familial high cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke as part of a comprehensive cholesterol-control plan.

Controlled Substance Warning

Ezetimibe is not a controlled substance. It should be taken exactly as prescribed, usually once daily, with or without food. When combined with statins, periodic liver function monitoring is recommended. Take Zetia at least 2 hours before or 4 hours after bile acid sequestrants to ensure proper absorption.
