Atasin EZ Tablet 10 mg+10 mg is a combination lipid-lowering medication containing Atorvastatin 10 mg and Ezetimibe 10 mg. This combination effectively helps manage high cholesterol and triglyceride levels, providing better control than either medication alone. Atorvastatin reduces cholesterol synthesis in the liver, while Ezetimibe blocks intestinal absorption of cholesterol, together lowering LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and triglycerides, and increasing HDL (“good”) cholesterol.
