Ezeros Film Coated Tablet 10 Mg/20Mg

Description

Manufacturer

Ezeros is manufactured by Nuvomed, a pharmaceutical company based in Turkey.

Uses

Ezeros is used in adult patients to lower the levels of total cholesterol, “bad” cholesterol (LDL cholesterol), and triglycerides in the blood. It also raises the level of “good” cholesterol (HDL cholesterol).

Mechanism of Action

Ezeros works to reduce cholesterol in two ways. It reduces the cholesterol absorbed in the digestive tract, as well as the cholesterol the body produces on its own. This dual mechanism of action helps to effectively manage cholesterol levels.

How to Take it

Dosage

The usual dose of Ezeros varies depending on the patient’s condition and any other medications they may be taking. The healthcare provider will determine the appropriate dosage, which is available in different strengths: 10 mg/5 mg, 10 mg/10 mg, 10 mg/20 mg, and 10 mg/40 mg.

Method of Administration

Ezeros comes in the form of film-coated tablets, which should be swallowed whole with a full glass of water. Patients should not chew or crush the tablets.

When to Take

Ezeros can be taken at any time of the day, but it is important to take it at the same time each day to establish a consistent routine.

Diet and Lifestyle

While taking Ezeros, patients should continue their cholesterol-lowering diet, as this medication is used in patients whose cholesterol levels cannot be controlled by diet alone.

Precautions

Consultation with Healthcare Professional: Before starting any new medication, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice based on the patient’s health condition.
Diet and Lifestyle: Patients should continue their cholesterol-lowering diet while taking it, as this medication is used in patients whose cholesterol levels cannot be controlled by diet alone.
Liver Health: Patients with active liver failure or decompensated cirrhosis should not take Ezeros. Those with a history of liver disease should discuss this with their healthcare provider before starting.
Regular Monitoring: Regular monitoring of cholesterol levels is necessary while taking it to ensure the medication is working effectively and allow for any necessary dosage adjustments.

Drug Interactions

The specific drug interactions of Ezeros are not listed in the available sources. However, since Ezeros contains ezetimibe and rosuvastatin, it may have similar interactions to those drugs when taken individually, such as:

Ezetimibe:

• Bile Acid Sequestrants: These medications can decrease the absorption of ezetimibe.
• Cyclosporine: Ezetimibe can increase the levels of cyclosporine in the body.

Rosuvastatin:

• Antacids: Taking antacids can decrease the absorption of rosuvastatin.
• Warfarin: Rosuvastatin can increase the effects of warfarin, increasing the risk of bleeding.
• Certain other cholesterol-lowering medications: Taking rosuvastatin with some other cholesterol-lowering drugs can increase the risk of muscle problems.

Patients should inform their healthcare provider about all medications they are taking to ensure safe and effective use.
