Ezetimibe is a common medication that can lower blood lipids. Ezetimibe lowers plasma cholesterol levels by inhibiting cholesterol absorption, and is usually used alone or in combination with a statin to lower blood lipids.

If you don’t recover, you can stop using it, and then switch to other lipid-lowering drugs, such as clofibrate and fenofibrate, to reduce blood lipids by affecting lipid synthesis and metabolism. Eating ezetimibe liver function indicators exceed two times, if discomfort occurs, should promptly go to the hospital to follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment, under the guidance of the doctor to confirm whether the drug can be discontinued.
