Liptruzet / Atozet (generic names: ezetimibe/atorvastatin) is a prescription medication known as antihyperlipidemic. These combinations typically include two or more medications from different drug classes, each working through a unique mechanism to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Liptruzet is prescribed for people with high cholesterol when single-drug therapy is not enough to achieve the desired lipid-lowering effect or when the patient has multiple risk factors for cardiovascular disease. It belongs to the pharmacological class of lipid-lowering agents and is often prescribed for long-term use under medical supervision. Ezetimibe reduces the amount of cholesterol absorbed in the intestines. Atorvastatin, a statin, lowers cholesterol production in the liver. Together, these two mechanisms significantly decrease low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, commonly known as “bad” cholesterol, and increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, known as “good” cholesterol. Read more detail about the benefits and dangers of cholesterol on our blog. Liptruzet is usually prescribed for patients who have not achieved good cholesterol levels with just diet and exercise or who need additional lipid-lowering therapy to reduce their cardiovascular risk.
