Overview
Atozet 10/40mg Tablet contains ezetimibe 10mg combined with atorvastatin 40mg, a fixed-dose combination used to lower high LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in people who need more cholesterol reduction than a statin alone can achieve.
Ezetimibe blocks the absorption of cholesterol from the intestine, while atorvastatin reduces the liver’s own production of cholesterol. These two complementary actions together lower LDL cholesterol more than either medicine alone.
How it Works
Ezetimibe selectively blocks the NPC1L1 cholesterol transporter in the small intestine, reducing absorption of dietary and biliary cholesterol. Atorvastatin inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, the enzyme controlling cholesterol production in the liver, which increases the liver’s uptake of LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream.
Directions for Use
Take Atozet 10/40mg Tablet once daily, at any time of day, with or without food, swallowing the tablet whole with water. Avoid grapefruit juice, as it can increase atorvastatin levels in the blood. Continue taking it even if you feel well, as high cholesterol usually causes no symptoms.
Dosage
The usual dose of Atozet 10/40mg Tablet is one tablet once daily. Your doctor will determine the appropriate strength for you based on your LDL cholesterol target and how you respond to treatment, and may adjust it after checking your cholesterol levels.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Atozet 10/40mg Tablet used for?
