What is Nexlizet?

Nexlizet is an oral medication that consists of two active ingredients: bempedoic acid and ezetimibe. Nexlizet is used to lower LDL-cholesterol in addition to diet and maximally tolerated statin therapy. It is used in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (a genetic condition that causes high cholesterol) or established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (a condition in which plaques clog up the arteries, potentially leading to heart attacks and strokes). Patients can buy Nexlizet at discounted prices online at NorthWestPharmacy.com.

How does Nexlizet work?

Nexlizet works to reduce LDL-cholesterol by minimizing the production of cholesterol in the liver and blocking its absorption in the intestines. There are two active ingredients—bempedoic acid blocks an enzyme involved in the production of LDL-cholesterol and ezetimibe inhibits the absorption of cholesterol from the small intestine.

What are the side effects of Nexlizet?

Nexlizet is well-tolerated overall. The main serious side effects of Nexlizet include high uric acid levels, which could lead to gout and tendon rupture. You should contact your prescriber immediately if you notice any signs of tendinitis or tendon rupture. Other potential side effects include upper respiratory tract infections, muscle spasms, diarrhea, abdominal pain, back pain, bronchitis, and elevated liver enzymes.

What you should know before using Nexlizet?

The recommended dose of Nexlizet is one tablet once daily by mouth. One tablet of Nexlizet consists of 180 mg of bempedoic acid and 10 mg of ezetimibe. Nexlizet can be taken with or without food. You should swallow the tablet whole. Your doctor will conduct lipid tests within a few months of starting Nexlizet. If you are also taking bile acid sequestrants (ie. cholestyramine, colestipol, colesevelam), you should take Nexlizet at least 2 hours before or at least 4 hours after the bile sequestrant.

If you have had previous a severe allergic reaction to ezetimibe, do not take Nexlizet. Pregnant patients should talk to their prescriber before taking Nexlizet. Patients with severe kidney dysfunction or moderate to severe liver dysfunction are not good candidates for Nexlizet. Nexlizet should be stored at room temperature in the original package.
