Rosuvastatin and Ezetimibe are used in the treatment of high cholesterol.
How Rosuvastatin and Ezetimibe Work Rosuvastatin and Ezetimibe is a combination of two medications used to lower high cholesterol. Rosuvastatin reduces cholesterol production in the liver by inhibiting the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme, which leads to lower levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol. Ezetimibe complements this effect by blocking the absorption of cholesterol in the intestines. Together, these actions effectively reduce cholesterol levels and help manage the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Common side effects of Rosuvastatin and Ezetimibe include muscle pain, upper respiratory tract infection, nausea, back pain, pain in extremities, fatigue, headache, joint pain, and diarrhea.
