Ezetrol is used to treat high cholesterol levels and to improve the balance of fats in the blood. This medicine works in a different way than traditional cholesterol-lowering medicines, as it reduces the absorption of cholesterol extracted from food in the small intestine without significantly affecting the liver's production of cholesterol.
Ezetrol is used to reduce harmful fats (LDL) in people with familial hypercholesterolemia. It is often prescribed in combination with other cholesterol-lowering medicines such as statins, which enhances the overall effectiveness of treatment in people who have not achieved the desired results using statins alone.
