Bempedoic Acid + Ezetimibe

Introduction

Bempedoic Acid + Ezetimibe is a combination medication used to lower elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in the blood. It is often prescribed to patients with high cholesterol who are unable to tolerate statins or need additional cholesterol-lowering therapy. Bempedoic acid works in the liver to reduce cholesterol synthesis, while Ezetimibe reduces cholesterol absorption in the intestine. Together, they offer a dual mechanism to effectively lower LDL-C levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
