Top 4 in Top 7 Things to Know About Ezetimibe
When taken on a regular basis, ezetimibe is effective at lowering cholesterol levels and can be combined with a statin or fenofibrate in some patients to further reduce lipids. Although ezetimibe is generally well tolerated, its use may be limited by side effects such as muscle pain or liver toxicity, especially when combined with a statin.
