• Cyclosporine: May increase ezetimibe exposure.
• Cholestyramine: Can significantly reduce ezetimibe exposure.

Always inform your doctor about prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, and supplements before starting Ezitor 10/10.

✔️ Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Ezitor 10/10 is contraindicated during pregnancy because cholesterol and related substances are important for fetal development, and the potential risks outweigh the benefits of treatment.

Women who become pregnant while taking this medicine should contact their doctor promptly.

Breastfeeding is not recommended while taking Ezitor 10/10, as there is potential for adverse effects in a nursing infant.
