Redustat EZ 10mg/10mg Tablet

Introduction

Redustat EZ 10mg/10mg Tablet is a combination of two active ingredients: Atorvastatin (10mg) and Ezetimibe (10mg). Atorvastatin is a statin that helps reduce cholesterol production in the liver, while Ezetimibe works by preventing the absorption of cholesterol from the intestines. Together, these medications provide an effective treatment for lowering cholesterol levels in the blood, helping to prevent heart disease and related complications.
