NUSTENDI is a prescription medication used to manage cholesterol levels in adults with certain types of high cholesterol, including primary hyperlipidemia and mixed dyslipidemia. It is a combination drug that contains ezetimibe and atorvastatin, which work together to reduce the amount of cholesterol absorbed in the digestive tract and to block the liver's production of cholesterol, respectively. By doing so, NUSTENDI effectively lowers the levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, commonly referred to as "bad" cholesterol, and triglycerides in the blood while increasing levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, or "good" cholesterol. This medication is typically prescribed when diet, exercise, and other lifestyle changes are not enough to reduce cholesterol to a safe level. It is important for patients taking NUSTENDI to continue following a cholesterol-lowering diet and exercise regimen to achieve the best possible results.
