Ezitor Tablet 10 mg + 10 mg is a combination medicine containing Atorvastatin and Ezetimibe, used for the management of high cholesterol and related lipid disorders. It helps lower “bad cholesterol” (LDL), triglycerides, and total cholesterol while improving overall heart health.
Atorvastatin reduces cholesterol production in the liver, while Ezetimibe decreases cholesterol absorption from the intestine. Together, they provide a dual-action approach for better lipid control and cardiovascular risk reduction.
