Contents of the pack
Ezetimibe/Atorvastatin Stada is a medicine that lowers high cholesterol levels. This medicine contains ezetimibe and atorvastatin.
Ezetimibe/atorvastatin is used in adults to lower the levels of total cholesterol, "bad" cholesterol (LDL cholesterol) and certain fats (triglycerides) in the blood. It also raises the levels of "good" cholesterol (HDL cholesterol).
Ezetimibe/atorvastatin works by reducing the cholesterol absorbed in the gut and the cholesterol produced by the body.
This medicine is used in patients who cannot control their cholesterol levels by diet alone. While taking this medicine, you should also follow a low-cholesterol diet.
What is cholesterol?
Cholesterol is one of the fatty substances in the bloodstream. Your total cholesterol is made up mainly of LDL and HDL cholesterol.
Triglycerides are another type of fat in the blood that can increase the risk of heart disease.
Diseases for which it is used
Ezetimibe/atorvastatin is used together with a low-cholesterol diet if you have:
Ezetimibe/atorvastatin does not help you lose weight.
Do not take Ezetimibe/Atorvastatin Stada if:
Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking ezetimibe/atorvastatin
Muscle problems
Contact your doctor immediately if you experience unexplained muscle pain, tenderness or weakness while taking ezetimibe/atorvastatin.This is because, in rare cases, muscle problems can be serious, including muscle breakdown and kidney damage. Atorvastatin is known to cause muscle problems, and cases of muscle problems have also been reported with ezetimibe.
Also, talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have persistent muscle weakness. You may need further tests and additional medicines to diagnose and treat it.
If any of the above applies to you (or you are not sure), consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking ezetimibe/atorvastatin, as your doctor will need to perform a blood test before starting your treatment, and possibly during treatment, to predict the risk of muscle side effects. It is known that the risk of muscle side effects, e.g. rhabdomyolysis (breakdown of damaged skeletal muscle), increases when certain medicines are taken at the same time (see section 2 "Other medicines and Ezetimibe/Atorvastatin Stada").
While you are taking this medicine, your doctor will closely monitor you if you have diabetes or are at risk of developing diabetes. This risk of diabetes increases if you have high levels of sugar and fat in the blood, are overweight, and have high blood pressure.
Tell your doctor about all your medical problems, including allergies.
Children and adolescents
Ezetimibe/atorvastatin is not recommended for children and adolescents.
Other medicines and Ezetimibe/Atorvastatin Stada
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines.
Fusidic acid
If you need to take fusidic acid by mouth to treat a bacterial infection, you will have to stop using this medicine temporarily. Your doctor will tell you when you can restart the treatment with ezetimibe/atorvastatin. Taking this medicine with fusidic acid can rarely cause muscle weakness, tenderness or pain (rhabdomyolysis). For more information on rhabdomyolysis, see section 4.
There are some medicines that can affect the way ezetimibe/atorvastatin works or that ezetimibe/atorvastatin can affect. This type of interaction could reduce the effectiveness of one or both medicines. On the other hand, it could also increase the risk or severity of side effects, including a serious disorder in which muscle tissue breaks down, known as "rhabdomyolysis", which is described in section 4:
Taking Ezetimibe/Atorvastatin Stada with food, drinks and alcohol
