Jezeta 10mg+40mg Tablet contains ezetimibe 10mg and atorvastatin 40mg, a combination medicine used to help manage high cholesterol and other abnormal blood lipid levels.

Ezetimibe reduces the absorption of cholesterol from the small intestine, while atorvastatin is a statin that reduces cholesterol production in the liver. Together, they help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and support overall cholesterol management when prescribed appropriately.

Jezeta should be used along with a heart-healthy diet, regular physical activity, and other lifestyle measures recommended by your healthcare professional.
