Indications
Atrozemb® contains a cholesterol absorption inhibitor and an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin) and is indicated as adjunctive therapy to diet to:
• reduce elevated total-C, LDL-C, Apo B, TG, and non-HDL-C, and to increase HDL-C in patients with primary (heterozygous familial and non-familial) hyperlipidemia or mixed hyperlipidemia.
• reduce elevated total-C and LDL-C in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH), as an adjunct to other lipidlowering treatments.

Competitive inhibition of HMG CoA reductase, the rate-limiting step in cholesterol synthesis.
– Ezetimibe:
Selectively inhibits absorption of dietary and biliary cholesterol in the small intestine.
Dosage

Limitation of Use
