Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ezetimibe is often used in combination with a statin, such as lovastatin, to further lower cholesterol levels. Neither gemfibrozil (a fibric acid derivative), cholestyramine (a bile acid sequestrant), nor nicotinic acid (niacin) are typically used in combination with ezetimibe.
