How does Zetia work?
Zetia reduces cholesterol in the blood by reducing the cholesterol your body can absorb.
About Zetia
Zetia (ezetimibe), a cholesterol absorption inhibitor, helps reduce total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol in the blood. Zetia is prescribed to treat high cholesterol in people who cannot control their cholesterol levels through diet and exercise alone.
Zetia treats high cholesterol by reducing the amount of cholesterol the body absorbs. It can help treat mixed hyperlipidemia, homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, and homozygous sitosterolemia.
Zetia is available only by prescription. It is available in a generic formulation as well as under different brand names, including ezetimibe.
Zetia may be prescribed in tablet form. It’s always important to follow the specific instructions on your prescription, as they can vary based on the formulation and dosage prescribed.
If you're prescribed Zetia, be sure to complete the full course of the cholesterol absorption inhibitor unless your doctor specifically tells you to stop. If you don't take your medication regularly, the lipid-lowering treatment may not fully treat your high cholesterol.
Zetia uses
There are several FDA-approved uses for Zetia, but your healthcare provider may also prescribe it off-label to treat other medical conditions.
