Usage: Ezetimibe is an anti-hyperlipidemic medication which is used to lower Cholesterol levels. It acts by decreasing Cholesterol absorption in the intestine. It could be used alone when other Cholesterol-lowering medications are not tolerated, or when Cholesterol levels are unable to be controlled on statins alone, ezetimibe could be used together with statins
