Atorvastatin is in a group of drugs called HMG CoA reductase inhibitors, or "statins." Atorvastatin and ezetimibe is a combination medicine that reduces blood levels of "bad" cholesterol, such as low-density lipoprotein (LDL), apolipoprotein-B (apo-B), triglycerides, or non-high-density lipoprotein (non-HDL).
Ezetimibe is a drug that lowers plasma cholesterol levels. It acts by decreasing cholesterol absorption in the small intestine. It may be used alone (marketed as Zetia or Ezetrol), when other cholesterol-lowering medications are not tolerated, or together with statins (e.g., ezetimibe/simvastatin, marketed as Vytorin or Inegy) when statins alone do not control cholesterol.
