Summary

This study is testing a fixed-dose combination of two cholesterol-lowering drugs (Pitavastatin and Ezetimibe) in 10,000 adults with high cholesterol and metabolic syndrome. Researchers will track how much LDL ('bad') cholesterol drops after 24 and 48 weeks of treatment in real-world clinics. The goal is to see if this pill works well and is safe for everyday use.
