Lipiget Ez 10mg/20mg 10s

Lipiget Ez 10mg/20mg 10s is a tablet made by Getz Pharma Ltd that contains Atorvastatin + Ezetimibe 10mg/20mg, a combination cholesterol-lowering medicine. It is used for high cholesterol, familial hypercholesterolaemia and prevention of heart disease. Pack size: 10 tablets.

Uses of Lipiget Ez 10mg/20mg 10s

Lipiget Ez 10mg/20mg 10s is used to lower LDL (‘bad’) cholesterol in people whose levels stay too high on a statin alone, or who are already taking both medicines separately. Lowering cholesterol reduces the build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries and the risk of heart attack and stroke. It works best alongside a low-fat diet, regular exercise and not smoking.

How Lipiget Ez 10mg/20mg 10s works

Atorvastatin blocks an enzyme the liver uses to make cholesterol, which also prompts the liver to pull more LDL out of the blood. Ezetimibe works in the small intestine, reducing how much cholesterol is absorbed from food and bile. Together they lower cholesterol more than either one alone.

Possible side effects

Many people notice no side effects, but Lipiget Ez 10mg/20mg 10s can sometimes cause:

• Muscle aches or weakness
• Headache
• Diarrhoea or stomach upset
• Tiredness
• Joint pain

Stop taking it and contact a doctor straight away if you have unexplained muscle pain, tenderness or weakness, especially with fever or dark urine, or if you develop yellow skin or eyes or a severe rash.

Precautions and warnings

• Tell your doctor if you have liver disease, kidney problems, an underactive thyroid, or have had muscle problems with a cholesterol medicine before.
• Avoid large amounts of grapefruit juice, and tell your doctor about other medicines such as certain antibiotics, antifungals, HIV medicines, ciclosporin, fibrates and warfarin.
• It must not be used in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so stop it and speak to your doctor if you become pregnant.
• Your doctor may check your liver function and cholesterol levels with blood tests.
• Limit alcohol, as heavy drinking can affect the liver.
