Ezetimibe

Ezetrol is an effective anticholesterol medication used to treat high serum levels of cholesterol. It contains the active ingredient Ezetimibe and is actually one of the more popular anticholesterol drugs around.

When it comes to a person’s health, a lot of things change as they grow older. Typically, their doctors will check their blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels as these are some of the best indications to gauge the health of the person. Unfortunately, as most people age, all of these things become worse and especially with the cholesterol levels, most people actually have incredibly high numbers. This is incredibly bad since an increase in the cholesterol levels of a person can lead to tons of medical complications later in life.

Cholesterol is readily absorbed by our body from the foods we eat. Our bodies then process these in our livers to be used for various things such as hormones. Unfortunately, our livers can only process a specific amount at a time since our bodies only require a specific amount of cholesterol at a given period. This means that the excess cholesterol that we have absorbed is simply left in the bloodstream. These may coagulate and form plaque deposits in the blood vessels and cause the walls of the blood vessels to harden. Both of these possible outcomes are unsatisfactory as it actually increases the risk of the person to develop more cardiovascular illnesses.

If it develops into a plaque and completely disrupts blood flow, the organs or body parts that are connected to that blood vessel will greatly suffer as they aren’t getting enough blood. If this continues for too long, the organ might actually die. If the walls of the blood vessels become too stiff, this may also cause an increase in blood pressure as the heart actually needs to exert more effort to simply get the blood to flow around the body.

Ezetrol’s active ingredient is Ezetimibe and belongs to the medication known as cholesterol absorption inhibitors. This means that they directly prevent the body from absorbing the cholesterol we eat which will, of course, decrease the cholesterol in the bloodstream in the process. Cholesterol absorption happens in the small intestine and this drug actually interferes with the receptor responsible for facilitating the absorption.

One of the direct benefits of taking the drug is that you will have lower cholesterol levels in the blood. This is because it hinders the absorption in the small intestines. If there is little cholesterol being absorbed by the body, it will be excreted and won’t go into the bloodstream. This will significantly decrease the cholesterol levels in the blood since the liver will need some cholesterol to convert to hormones to make the body function. With no new cholesterol being added in the bloodstream, blood cholesterol levels will eventually go down.

An indirect benefit of taking the medicine is that with a decrease in blood cholesterol levels, the risk of getting certain fatal illnesses or complications go down significantly as well. This means that by taking the medicine, you are essentially prolonging your life and improving your quality of living in the future.
