Table of contents
Overview
Nustendi is a medicine for lowering levels of cholesterol in the blood.
It is used in patients with primary hypercholesterolaemia or mixed dyslipidaemia (conditions that cause high levels of fats, including cholesterol, in the blood). Patients taking the medicine are required to be on a low-fat diet.
Nustendi contains the active substances bempedoic acid and ezetimibe.
Nustendi is used in combination with a statin in patients whose cholesterol levels are not lowered enough by the maximum dose of a statin taken together with ezetimibe. Nustendi can also be used alone in patients who cannot take statins and whose cholesterol levels are not lowered enough by ezetimibe. The medicine can be used to replace separate tablets of bempedoic acid and ezetimibe in patients already taking them.
