Ezentia Tablet

Ezentia Tablet contains ezetimibe in each tablet, as labelled on the pack, and it comes as a standard oral tablet made by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. Ezetimibe is a cholesterol-lowering medicine in the lipid-lowering drug class. Ezentia Tablet is used along with diet and, when needed, other medicines to help lower high LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and improve certain lipid levels. It may also be used in people who need extra cholesterol control because diet alone is not enough.

How it works: Ezetimibe works by reducing how much cholesterol is absorbed from food and bile in the small intestine. In tablet form, Ezentia Tablet is taken by mouth and helps lower LDL cholesterol over time when used consistently.

Ezentia Tablet is a regular swallowed tablet, so it is a practical choice for adults who need a prescription ezetimibe tablet that fits routine daily dosing. Because this is the only strength/form of Ezentia we list, it is not a starter-vs-higher-strength comparison product; your doctor selects this tablet based on your cholesterol goals and treatment plan. For most patients, it is used as a once-daily maintenance medicine rather than something you take for immediate symptom relief.

• Lower LDL cholesterol
• Help reduce total cholesterol
• Support treatment of mixed dyslipidemia
• Add-on therapy when diet alone is not enough

• Swallow Ezentia Tablet whole with water.

• Do not crush or chew the tablet unless your clinician specifically tells you to.

Each Ezentia Tablet provides ezetimibe as labelled on the strip/box, and the usual adult dose of ezetimibe is 10 mg once daily. Your doctor decides whether this tablet is right for you and whether it should be used alone or with another cholesterol medicine. Do not take more than 10 mg per day unless your prescriber gives a different instruction for a specific reason.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
