Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Ezetimibe is a lipid-lowering agent that inhibits intestinal absorption of dietary cholesterol. It substantially lowers low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels when used alone or in combination with statins. Although there is a growing push for the continued use of ezetimibe for the prevention of cardiovascular disease, ezetimibe studies available so far are inconsistent, without allowing use of the drug with confidence. |
