Ezetimibe(Ezetimibe) Instructions:Uses,Dosage, Side Effects
ZETIA, with the generic name ezetimibe, is a lipid-lowering agent classified as a dietary cholesterol absorption inhibitor. Its primary mechanism involves targeting the Niemann-Pick C1-Like 1 (NPC1L1) protein in the small intestine, which blocks the absorption of biliary and dietary cholesterol. This oral medication is formulated as a 10 mg tablet. It is not metabolized by the cytochrome P450 system, which differentiates it from statins and influences its drug interaction profile.
