Ezoleta is a medicine used to lower increased levels of cholesterol.
Ezoleta lowers levels of total cholesterol, "bad" cholesterol (LDL cholesterol), and fatty substances called triglycerides in the blood. In addition, Ezoleta raises levels of "good" cholesterol (HDL cholesterol).
It is used for patients who cannot control their cholesterol levels by cholesterol lowering diet alone.
Patients should stay on cholesterol lowering diet while taking this medicine.
Ezoleta is used in addition to cholesterol lowering diet if patients have: A raised cholesterol level in the blood (primary hypercholesterolaemia - heterozygous familial and non-familial): together with a statin, when the cholesterol level is not well controlled with a statin alone; alone, when statin treatment is inappropriate or is not tolerated.
A hereditary illness (homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia) that increases the cholesterol level in the blood. Patients will also be prescribed a statin and may also receive other treatments.
Ezoleta does not help lose weight.
