Key points

  • Ezetimibe is a cholesterol absorption inhibitor: it limits how much cholesterol your intestine takes up from food.
  • Liver precautions and muscle symptoms are flagged, particularly when another lipid-lowering medicine is taken alongside ezetimibe.
  • The ingredient appears in Primary Hypercholesterolaemia and selected inherited lipid disorders.

Common questions about Ezetimibe

What does Roszet contain beyond ezetimibe?

Roszet pairs 10 mg ezetimibe with 40 mg rosuvastatin in one tablet. Rosuvastatin reduces cholesterol production in the liver, adding a second mechanism to ezetimibe’s intestinal action. Together they lower cholesterol from two directions.

Why does this shelf carry both a single-ingredient and a combination tablet?

Ezetimibe Tablets serves people who need the absorption inhibitor without a statin, for example when a statin is not suitable or when doses need adjusting separately. Roszet combines both medicines in one tablet for people who need them together.
