Ezetimibe Sandoz is a drug used to lower elevated blood cholesterol levels.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sandoz Ezetimibe reduces blood levels of total cholesterol, the “bad” cholesterol et ( LDL – cholesterol ), and one type of blood lipids called triglycerides s. Ezetimibe Sandoz also increases the levels of “good” cholesterol ( HDL – cholesterol ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ezetimibe, the active substance in Ezetimibe Sandoz, works by reducing the cholesterol uptake into the gastrointestinal tract.

Ezetimibe Sandoz enhances the cholesterol-lowering effect of statins, a group of drugs that reduce the amount of cholesterol your body produces.

Cholesterol is one of several fats found in your blood. Your total cholesterol is made up mainly of LDL and HDL – cholesterol.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LDL – cholesterol is often called “bad” cholesterol et because it can build up in the walls of your arteries and form plaque. This plaque storage can eventually lead to a narrowing of your vessels. This narrowing can reduce or block blood flow to important organs such as the heart and brain. Blockage of blood flow can result in a heart attack or stroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
HDL – cholesterol is often called “good” cholesterol et because it helps prevent the “bad” cholesterol et from building up in container one and protects against heart disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Triglycerides are another type of fat in the blood that can increase the risk of heart disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
