Xerova EZ Tablet 20 mg + 10 mg is a combination lipid-lowering medication containing Atorvastatin and Ezetimibe. This formulation is designed for patients who require intensive cholesterol management by targeting both the production and absorption of cholesterol. It is particularly beneficial for individuals who do not achieve adequate lipid control with statin therapy alone. When combined with a healthy lifestyle, this medication helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke.

Indications

Xerova EZ Tablet is indicated for:

• Primary hypercholesterolemia
• Mixed dyslipidemia (elevated LDL cholesterol and triglycerides)
• Patients inadequately controlled with statin monotherapy
• Prevention of cardiovascular events including heart attack and stroke
• Reduction of LDL (bad cholesterol), total cholesterol, and triglycerides

Mechanism of Action

This combination works through two complementary mechanisms:

• Atorvastatin inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, reducing cholesterol synthesis in the liver
• Ezetimibe blocks the absorption of cholesterol from the small intestine

Together, they provide a synergistic effect that significantly lowers LDL cholesterol and improves the overall lipid profile.
