Generally speaking, Ezetimibe and statin can be taken for a long time, and the combination of the two has synergistic effect, which can enhance the therapeutic effect, and need to follow the doctor’s instructions for reasonable application.
Ezetimibe is a commonly used cholesterol-lowering drug in clinical practice, which reduces the cholesterol content in the body by inhibiting the absorption of cholesterol by the small intestinal mucosal epithelium. It is commonly used in the treatment of coronary heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases. The synergistic effect of Ezetimibe in combination with low-dose statins can enhance its effect of lowering plasma cholesterol level, so the two can be taken together for a long period of time.
Patients generally tolerate the two drugs better and have fewer adverse reactions, but a few people experience abdominal pain, diarrhea, joint pain, fatigue, etc. Once they do, the medication should be adjusted under the guidance of a doctor.
