Tonact EZ 20 + 10 mg Tablet

Tonact EZ 20 + 10 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that combines atorvastatin 20 mg and ezetimibe 10 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the lipid-lowering medicine class and is used to help lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and triglycerides while raising HDL (“good”) cholesterol when diet and lifestyle changes are not enough. Tonact EZ 20 + 10 mg Tablet is typically used in people who need stronger cholesterol control than a single medicine alone may provide. This pack contains 10 tablets per strip/box pack.

How it works: Atorvastatin reduces how much cholesterol your liver makes, while ezetimibe lowers how much cholesterol your body absorbs from food and bile. As a swallowed tablet, Tonact EZ 20 + 10 mg Tablet delivers both medicines together in one dose to help lower blood fats from two different angles.

Tonact EZ 20 + 10 mg Tablet is not a starter-strength product; it provides the fixed combination of atorvastatin 20 mg plus ezetimibe 10 mg, which is a stronger option than single-ingredient or lower-dose cholesterol tablets. A doctor may choose this tablet for patients whose cholesterol levels need more intensive lowering, or for those who have not reached their target with lifestyle measures or a lower dose. Because it is a higher-strength combination tablet, it should be used only after a clinician has assessed the patient’s risk and treatment goals.

• High LDL cholesterol
• Mixed dyslipidemia
• Triglyceride lowering support
• Cardiovascular risk reduction in appropriate patients
• Adjunct to diet and exercise

• Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not chew, crush, or split it unless your doctor specifically tells you to.
• Take it at the same time each day to help you remember your dose.
• It can usually be taken with or without food unless your prescriber gives different instructions.
• Follow the diet plan and exercise advice given with the medicine, because the tablet works best as part of a full cholesterol-lowering plan.
• Do not take extra tablets to make up for a missed dose; ask your clinician or pharmacist what to do instead.

Each Tonact EZ 20 + 10 mg Tablet provides atorvastatin 20 mg plus ezetimibe 10 mg per tablet. The doctor decides how often you should take it, but this combination is commonly taken once daily; the maximum daily amount should not be increased beyond the prescribed schedule. Your prescriber will choose the right dose based on your cholesterol results, other medicines, and overall heart risk.

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