About Ezetim 10 Tablet

Ezetim 10 Tablet belongs to the class of cholesterol-lowering medication primarily used to treat high cholesterol. Cholesterol is a waxy substance produced by the liver to protect nerves, make tissue, and various hormones.

Ezetim 10 Tablet contains Ezetimibe, which is a cholesterol absorption inhibitor.

Side effects of Ezetim 10 Tablet
Here's a comprehensive approach to managing medication-triggered fever:
  • Inform your doctor immediately if you experience a fever after starting a new medication.
  • Your doctor may adjust your medication regimen or dosage as needed to minimize fever symptoms.
  • Monitor your body temperature to monitor fever progression.
  • Drink plenty of fluids, such as water or electrolyte-rich beverages, to help your body regulate temperature.
  • Get plenty of rest and engage in relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or meditation, to help manage fever symptoms.
  • Under the guidance of your doctor, consider taking medication, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, to help reduce fever.
  • If your fever is extremely high (over 103°F), or if you experience severe symptoms such as confusion, seizures, or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention.
  • To help reduce symptoms, eat foods high in vitamin C, such as oranges, bell peppers and strawberries.
  • Lightly blow your nose to remove mucus; steer clear of blowing hard.
  • Infections can be prevented from spreading by washing hands frequently and staying away from other people.
  • If you have allergies, do your best to avoid triggering allergens that could contribute to a runny nose.
  • Don't smoke, as irritating the nasal passages can make a runny nose worse.
  • Drink warm fluids such as warm water with honey, broth, soup or herbal tea to soothe sore throat.
  • Gargle with warm salt water.
  • Suck on lozenges to increase the production of saliva and soothe your throat.
  • Use a humidifier to soothe sore throat as it adds moisture to the air and makes breathing easier.
Managing back pain as a side effect of medication requires a combination of self-care techniques, lifestyle modifications, and medical interventions. Here are the steps:
  • Talk to your doctor about your back pain and potential medication substitutes or dose changes.
  • Try yoga or Pilates and other mild stretching exercises to increase flexibility and strengthen your back muscles.
  • To lessen the tension on your back, sit and stand upright and maintain proper posture.
  • To alleviate discomfort and minimize inflammation, apply heat or cold packs to the afflicted area.
  • Under your doctor's supervision, think about taking over-the-counter painkillers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
  • Make ergonomic adjustments to your workspace and daily activities to reduce strain on your back.
  • To handle tension that could make back pain worse, try stress-reduction methods like deep breathing or meditation.
  • Use pillows and a supportive mattress to keep your spine in the right posture as you sleep.
  • Back discomfort can worsen by bending, twisting, and heavy lifting.
  • Speak with a physical therapist to create a customized training regimen to increase back strength and flexibility.
  • Body pain can be treated with regular exercise or yoga, which includes mild stretching, which helps strengthen the lower body.
  • Warm baths and gentle massage of the affected parts can help relieve pain.
  • Avoid strenuous activity and take frequent breaks, as rest is critical.
  • Intake of nutritious food can help strengthen body and mind. A trained nutritionist can help design a balanced diet for strengthening your body.
  • Speak to your doctor if the pain lasts an extended period. Medical help can be practical in finding a cure for constant body pain.
  • Chest pain may last for a while and needs immediate medical attention as it is a significant health issue to be attended to.
  • Take rest and refrain from doing physical activity for a while, and restart after a few days.
  • Try applying an ice pack to the strained area for at least 20 minutes thrice a day. Ice pack thus helps reduce inflammation.
