Which medication is not primarily used for cholesterol management?

Gabapentin is not primarily used for cholesterol management. It is classified as an anticonvulsant medication, most commonly prescribed for neuropathic pain and seizure disorders. Gabapentin works by influencing the way that nerves send messages to your brain, helping to alleviate pain and prevent seizures.

On the other hand, atorvastatin, simvastatin, and ezetimibe are all medications specifically focused on managing cholesterol levels. Atorvastatin and simvastatin are statins that lower cholesterol by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which plays a central role in cholesterol production in the liver. Ezetimibe also contributes to cholesterol management but does so by reducing the absorption of cholesterol in the intestines. Therefore, while gabapentin serves a different therapeutic purpose, atorvastatin, simvastatin, and ezetimibe are integral components of cholesterol-lowering therapy.
