| Working and treatment of
Ezetimibe - Vytorin |
Ezetimibe in Vytorin reduces cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and
triglycerides in the blood. It is also used to increase the good
cholesterol level that is the HDL in the blood. It reduces the risk
of hardening of the arteries which leads to cardiovascular diseases
such as heart attacks, peripheral vascular disease and stroke.
Cholesterol and fats builds up along the walls of the blood vessels
causing a decreased blood flow and oxygen supply to brain, heart and
other parts of the body. By decreasing the levels of cholesterol and
fats in the blood by Vytorin reduces the risks of developing certain
coronary heart diseases such as angina, stroke, heart attack and
other vascular diseases.
Ezetimibe in Vytorin acts on the brush border of the intestine and
obstructs the cholesterol absorption which leads to a decreased
level of intestinal cholesterol to the liver. The component called
HMG CoA reductase inhibitors in Vytorin causes the decrease in the
levels of hepatic cholesterol. It clears the cholesterol from blood
vessels and reduces the risk of heart diseases.
Simvastatin in Vytorin reduces cholesterol by obstructing the
conversion of HMG CoA reductase inhibitors to mevalonate which is an
initial step in the formation of cholesterol. Simvastatin also
reduces triglycerides and VLDL and increases HDL cholesterol.
Ezetimibe and Simvastatin in Vytorin slow down the formation of
cholesterol and fatty substance in the blood vessels. It lowers
total cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides which is the chief cause of
coronary artery disease. The effectiveness of this drug has caused
many doctors to run tests on their patients and then prescribe this
drug.
