Ezitor Tablet 20 mg + 10 mg is a combination medicine containing Atorvastatin and Ezetimibe, used for the management of high cholesterol and mixed lipid disorders. It helps reduce elevated LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglyceride levels, while improving overall cardiovascular health.

This dual-action therapy is commonly prescribed when lifestyle changes and single-drug treatment are not sufficient to control cholesterol levels effectively. It plays an important role in reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications.

Composition

Each film-coated tablet contains:

• Atorvastatin 20 mg
• Ezetimibe 10 mg

Indications

Ezitor Tablet is indicated for:

• Primary hypercholesterolemia
• Mixed dyslipidemia
• High LDL cholesterol levels
• Patients not adequately controlled with statin or ezetimibe alone

How Ezitor Tablet Works

Atorvastatin

Atorvastatin is a statin that inhibits the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme in the liver, which is responsible for cholesterol production. It helps:

• Lower LDL (bad cholesterol)
• Reduce triglycerides
• Increase HDL (good cholesterol)

Ezetimibe

Ezetimibe works in the small intestine by blocking cholesterol absorption, reducing the amount of cholesterol entering the bloodstream.

Together, they provide stronger lipid-lowering effects compared to either medicine alone.
