Ezetimibe is a cholesterol-lowering drug. It is also known as a cholesterol absorption inhibitor.
This medicine inhibits the absorption of cholesterol in the small intestine. As a result, your intestine passes less cholesterol on to the liver. This ultimately leads to less cholesterol in your blood.
