First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study looked at whether taking two cholesterol-lowering drugs together works better and is safer than taking just one. 66 adults with heart disease and high cholesterol were given either a single drug (rosuvastatin) or a combination (rosuvastatin plus ezetimibe) for 12 weeks. Researchers measured cholesterol levels and checked for muscle and liver side effects to find the best approach.
