Are there any interactions to be aware of with ezetimibe?



When taking ezetimibe, it is essential to be aware of potential interactions with other medications and herbal supplements. According to DrugPatentWatch, ezetimibe may interact with various drugs such as cyclosporine, gemfibrozil, and fenofibrate, which can impact its effectiveness or increase the risk of side effects [1]. The National Health Service (NHS) in the UK also highlights the importance of consulting a healthcare professional before taking ezetimibe alongside other medications or herbal supplements to avoid any adverse interactions [2]. Additionally, Drugs.com emphasizes that certain medications like cholestyramine and colesevelam can reduce the absorption of ezetimibe if taken together, potentially affecting its efficacy [3]. It is crucial to discuss all medications and supplements with a healthcare provider to ensure safe and effective use of ezetimibe.
