What is Ezetimibe-Simvastatin?

Ezetimibe-Simvastatin is a combination prescription drug that reduces “bad” cholesterol (LDL cholesterol) and fats (triglycerides) in the bloodstream, both of which increase the risk of stroke and heart attack. Ezetimibe-Simvastatin is prescribed to patients diagnosed with high cholesterol or who have inherited a high cholesterol condition (Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia, or HoFH).

The active ingredients in Ezetimibe-Simvastatin both reduce the liver's production of cholesterol (simvastatin) and block the body's ability to absorb dietary cholesterol through the intestines (ezetimibe).

Statins, like simvastatin, block proteins that are critical for making LDL cholesterol in the liver. Statins may help reduce cholesterol plaques that have already formed in blood vessels. Ezetimibe also blocks a protein, one that is critical to the ability of the intestines to absorb cholesterol from food.

Ezetimibe-Simvastatin is taken as a tablet once daily in the evening with or without food.

What are the side effects of Ezetimibe-Simvastatin?

The most common physical side effect of Ezetimibe-Simvastatin is muscle pain and cramping, which can range from mild weakness or soreness to severe pain. Consult with your physician if you experience serious muscle pain. Other physical side effects include but are not limited to headache, numbness, dizziness, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, joint pain, back pain, trouble sleeping, and cold symptoms.

The most common mental or mood changes that result from taking Ezetimibe-Simvastatin are memory loss and confusion, which can range from mild mental fuzziness to severe enough to interfere with daily tasks.

Consult with your prescribing physician if you experience confusion and memory loss while taking Ezetimibe-Simvastatin.

The most serious but less common side effects of Ezetimibe-Simvastatin are liver damage, muscle damage, and increased blood sugar. Severe muscle damage can cause kidney problems and kidney failure. It is not uncommon for a prescribing physician to perform blood tests before and after starting Ezetimibe-Simvastatin to monitor liver, muscle, and blood sugar problems.

Allergic reactions are rare. Get emergency medical help if you notice signs of an allergic reaction such as facial swelling, hives, rash, or trouble breathing.
