CRD SUMMARY:

This well-conducted review concluded that ezetimibe alone or in combination with a statin was effective in reducing low density lipoprotein cholesterol in short-term studies. When used alone, ezetimibe is less effective than statins. The authors' conclusions reflect the evidence and their recommendations for research appear appropriate given the lack of long-term data in the included studies.
