for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis medicine contains the active substances ezetimibe and Atorvastatin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis medicine is used to lower levels of total cholesterol, “bad” cholesterol (LDL cholesterol), and fatty substances called triglycerides in the blood.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn addition, EZETIMIBE, ATORVASTATIN raises levels of “good” cholesterol (HDL cholesterol).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEZETIMIBE, ATORVASTATIN works to reduce your cholesterol in two ways.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe active ingredient ezetimibe reduces the cholesterol absorbed in your digestive tract.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe active ingredient Atorvastatin belonging to the class of “statins” inhibits the production of the cholesterol your body makes by itself.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCholesterol is one of several fatty substances found in the bloodstream.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour total cholesterol is made up mainly of LDL and HDL cholesterol.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLDL cholesterol is often called “bad” cholesterol because it can build up in the walls of your arteries forming plaque.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEventually this plaque build-up can lead to a narrowing of the arteries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis narrowing can slow or block blood flow to vital organs such as the heart and brain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis blocking of blood flow can result in a heart attack or stroke.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHDL cholesterol is often called “good” cholesterol because it helps keep the bad cholesterol from building up in the arteries and protects against heart disease.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriglycerides are another form of fat in your blood that may increase your risk for heart disease.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEZETIMIBE, ATORVASTATIN is used for patients who cannot control their cholesterol levels by diet alone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou should stay on a cholesterol-lowering diet while taking this medicine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEZETIMIBE, ATORVASTATIN is used in addition to your cholesterol-lowering diet if you

fat levels in your blood (mixed hyperlipidaemia):\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThat is not well controlled with a statin alone,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor which you have used a statin and ezetimibe as separate tablets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA hereditary illness (homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia) that increases the cholesterol level in your
