Ezallor is used to treat hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol) and hypertriglyceridemia (high triglycerides), and is prescribed to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with established cardiovascular disease or multiple risk factors.
Ezallor contains rosuvastatin, which works by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme in the liver responsible for cholesterol synthesis. By reducing cholesterol production, it helps lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides while modestly increasing HDL (good) cholesterol.
Ezallor is contraindicated in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Patients should report unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness, as statins can cause serious muscle problems. Liver function tests should be monitored before and during treatment. The medication should be used with caution in patients with liver disease or a history of alcohol abuse.
