Ezetrol - Dose Advice of :
You should take Ezetrol as prescribed by your doctor. The usual dose is 10 mg daily which comes as a single white/off-white tablet that is swallowed with water. Ezetrol can be taken at any tine of the day with or without food.
This dose is suitable for most adults and children older than 10 years of age. Ezetrol is not recommended in children less than ten years as they are unsure of its effects. Furthermore, if you have active liver disease you should not take this medication.
Often this medication will be used in combination with a statin so it may help you remember to take Ezetrol if you take them together at the same time everyday. However, if you are taking a bile acid sequestrant (e.g. cholestyramine) you must take Ezetrol at least 2 hours before or four hours after.
If you are also taking statin medications, liver function tests are needed throughout your treatment to monitor that there is no damage to the liver.
Remember a healthy diet with little fat and exercise are also important.
Ezetrol is currently not recommended during pregnancy (if combined with a statin) or breastfeeding as there is no human data available regarding its safety.
