This Medication is prescribed for the management of elevated cholesterol levels.  It work to lower levels of "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides (fats) in the body.

It contains a combination of Atorvastatin (10mg) and Ezetimibe (10mg).

Atorvastatin functions as a lipid-lowering medication that inhibits the production of "bad" cholesterol (LDL) and elevates levels of "good" cholesterol (HDL).

On the other hand, Ezetimibe acts as a cholesterol absorption inhibitor, preventing the absorption of cholesterol from the intestines. When combined, they work synergistically to more effectively reduce cholesterol levels in the body.

Elevated cholesterol levels refer to an excess of fatty stuff in the blood. High levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol can lead to artery plaque buildup, increasing the risk of heart disease. Monitoring cholesterol through blood tests helps assess cardiovascular risk, with a focus on maintaining a healthy balance between LDL and "good" HDL cholesterol.

Pay attention to your doctor's advice regarding the dosage of this medication. Swallow the tablet whole; do not chew, crush, or break it. You can take it with or without food but try to take it at the same time each day for better results.

It's crucial to inform your doctor about any existing liver conditions or concerns. This combination may affect liver function, and your doctor might monitor your liver enzymes during the course of treatment. If you experience symptoms like jaundice, dark urine, or persistent nausea, notify your healthcare provider promptly.

Take this medicine as soon as you remember, if you miss a dose. If your next dose is approaching, don't take the missing one. Don't take double doses to catch up. Stick to your regular schedule as prescribed by your doctor.
