Tips

Take one capsule once daily, with or without food. Can be taken at any time of day (morning or night); however, it is best to stick to a consistent schedule.

Take your medication exactly as your doctor has prescribed. If your doctor advises you to change your dose or discontinue treatment, do so.

If you are taking another cholesterol-lowering medication, check with your doctor to see if you can take it alongside ezetimibe.

While taking this medication, you must adhere to a cholesterol-lowering diet and exercise regimen. If you require diet advice, consult your doctor. If you smoke, speak with your doctor about quitting.

If you notice any yellowing of your skin or eyes, shortness of breath, unexplained cough, severe muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, call your doctor right away. Inquire with your doctor about how to spot liver problems.

If you are a woman of childbearing age, you should use an effective method of birth control to avoid pregnancy while taking ezetimibe in combination with a statin.

It is critical to inform your doctor and pharmacist about any other medications you are taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter (OTC) medications, vitamins, herbs, and dietary supplements. Do not discontinue any medications without first consulting your doctor.
