Ezetimibe/rosuvastatin, sold under the brand name Ridutrin among others, is a cholesterol lowering combination medication.[5] In some countries it is sold as a kit or a pack containing two distinct pills.[6][1] It is also available in the form of a composite package containing the two separate pills.[3]

The combination was approved for medical use in the United States in March 2021.[4]
