BEMPIDOC EZ 180/10

BEMPIDOC EZ 180/10 is a combination medication designed to effectively manage high cholesterol levels in patients. This medication integrates Bempedoic Acid (180mg) and Ezetimibe (10mg), offering a dual-action approach to lowering cholesterol. Elevated cholesterol is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, including heart attacks and strokes. BEMPIDOC EZ 180/10 aims to provide a comprehensive solution for individuals struggling to achieve optimal cholesterol levels through lifestyle changes and diet alone.

Key Benefits:

• Effective Cholesterol Reduction: The combination of Bempedoic Acid and Ezetimibe targets both cholesterol production in the liver and cholesterol absorption in the intestines, resulting in significant reductions in LDL-C levels.
• Cardiovascular Health: By lowering LDL-C, BEMPIDOC EZ 180/10 helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attacks and strokes.
• Convenient Dosage: Combining two effective ingredients in one tablet simplifies the medication regimen for patients, enhancing adherence to treatment.
• Complementary Action: The dual mechanism of action ensures a more comprehensive approach to managing cholesterol levels compared to monotherapy.

How Does It Work?

BEMPIDOC EZ 180/10 works through a dual mechanism:

1. Bempedoic Acid: Inhibits the enzyme ACL, leading to decreased cholesterol synthesis in the liver. This reduction in cholesterol production helps lower the levels of LDL-C in the blood.

2. Ezetimibe: Inhibits the absorption of cholesterol in the small intestine. By blocking the Niemann-Pick C1-Like 1 (NPC1L1) protein, which is responsible for cholesterol absorption, Ezetimibe reduces the amount of cholesterol entering the bloodstream.

The combination of these two mechanisms results in a significant reduction in LDL-C levels, providing a more effective solution for managing high cholesterol.

Directions for Use:

• Take BEMPIDOC EZ 180/10 exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
• Typically, one tablet is taken once daily, with or without food.
• Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew it.
• Adhere to any dietary recommendations provided by your healthcare provider to maximize the medication's effectiveness.
• Continue to take BEMPIDOC EZ 180/10 even if you feel well, as high cholesterol often does not present symptoms.
