Molecular Structure
Detailed Description
Ezetimibe (cas 163222-33-1) is a drug that lowers plasma cholesterol levels. It acts by decreasing cholesterol absorption in the intestine. It may be used alone (marketed as Zetia or Ezetrol), when other cholesterol-lowering medications are not tolerated, or together with statins (e.g., ezetimibe/simvastatin, marketed as Vytorin and Inegy) when statins alone do not control cholesterol. Even though ezetimibe decreases cholesterol levels, it did not improve clinically significant outcomes.
