Frequently asked questions FOR Starstat EZ
Simvastatin
Q. What should I know about high cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a type of fat present in your blood. Total cholesterol is determined by the total amount of LDL and HDL cholesterol in the body. LDL cholesterol is called “bad” cholesterol. Bad cholesterol can build up in the wall of your blood vessels and slow or obstruct blood flow to your heart, brain, and other organs. This can cause heart disease and stroke. HDL cholesterol is called “good” cholesterol as it prevents the bad cholesterol from building up in the blood vessels. High levels of triglycerides are also harmful for you.
Q. What is Simvastatin used for? How does it work?
Simvastatin belongs to a class of medicines called statins that lower the cholesterol in the blood. It is used along with a healthy diet and exercise to reduce bad cholesterol and increase the amount of good cholesterol in the blood. It works by slowing the production of cholesterol in the liver in order to decrease the amount of cholesterol that accumulates on the walls of arteries. Improving the levels of cholesterol in the blood helps to reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke.
Q. When should I take Simvastatin?
Simvastatin is generally taken once a day preferably in the evening after dinner. Try taking this medicine at the same time every day to help remember when to take it.
Ezetimibe
Q. Is Ezetimibe a blood thinner?
No, Ezetimibe is not a blood thinner. It belongs to cholesterol-lowering group of medicines. It is a medicine which is used along with lifestyle changes to reduce cholesterol levels and other fatty substances in the blood.
Q. What foods should be avoided while taking Ezetimibe?
Since Ezetimibe is meant to decrease blood cholesterol levels, for best results avoid foods which are high in calories like chips, burgers, fried food, etc. Eat a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet. Be sure to follow all exercise and dietary recommendations made by your doctor or dietician.
Q. Can Ezetimibe cause liver damage?
Ezetimibe, when used with another cholesterol-lowering medicine (statin), may commonly cause an increase in liver enzymes.

Your doctor will get blood tests done to check your liver function before starting and during treatment with Ezetimibe.
