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.
