Ezetimibe MOA
Ezetimibe reduces blood cholesterol by acting at the brush border of the small intestine to inhibit the absorption of cholesterol, leading to a decrease in the delivery of intestinal cholesterol to the liver. This reduces hepatic cholesterol stores and increases the clearance of cholesterol from the blood
