Xelpid EZ Tablet 10 mg + 10 mg is a combination of Atorvastatin and Ezetimibe used for the management of high cholesterol and mixed dyslipidemia. It is prescribed to reduce elevated levels of LDL (bad cholesterol), total cholesterol, and triglycerides, while helping to increase HDL (good cholesterol). This combination therapy is often used when cholesterol levels are not adequately controlled with a single medicine.

Atorvastatin belongs to the statin class and works by reducing cholesterol production in the liver. Ezetimibe works in the small intestine by decreasing the absorption of cholesterol from food and bile. Together, they provide a dual mechanism of action that results in more effective cholesterol reduction and better cardiovascular protection.

Xelpid EZ Tablet is commonly used along with lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, weight management, and avoidance of smoking. It helps reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular complications including heart attack and stroke in high-risk patients.

Composition

Each tablet contains:

• Atorvastatin Calcium USP equivalent to Atorvastatin 10 mg

• Primary hypercholesterolemia
• Mixed dyslipidemia

How It Works

Atorvastatin inhibits the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme in the liver, reducing cholesterol synthesis. Ezetimibe blocks the absorption of cholesterol in the small intestine by inhibiting the NPC1L1 transporter. The combination reduces both endogenous (liver) and exogenous (dietary) cholesterol levels.
