Cardiologist prescribed Zetia. Cost too much. Purchase Generic form (ezetimibe ) from Canadian Pharmacy. Works great! Cardiologist is very pleased with the results.

After trying 5 different statins w horrid side effects i decided to try Zetia. One of my sisters cholesterol was over over 300 and after 60 days dropped to 80. I've just passed my 1 wk mark with 2 light infrequent side effects, bloating and 2x a tingling in my legs. If this works when I'm retested I'll be euphoric.Im a 65 yr old female who recently discovered through a doppler test that my right internal carotid artery is 100% occluded so i have to stay super proactive. So far I'm loving this med. Oh by the way tried Garlicque for 90 days...forget it cholesterol went UP 30 points.Read More Read Less

It took me a while to realize the serious problem with insomnia I started experiencing was due to the ezetimibe. Problems with sleep wasn't listed on the routine list of side effects I had looked at. I also was having a low level constant anxiety and mild depression. This does not occur when off of this medication.

serious side effects that started in my back, left side, and moved to my arm. each day the pay grew substantially. the pain was constant and nagging. didn't realize at first it was the medication, and went for accupucture, cupping, massages. Took extra strength Tylenol, nothing; took extra strength Ibuprofen, nothing, took Robax Platinum, nothing. Then i decided to stop taking Ezetimibe and the next day it felt much easier. Took 6 days - each day a little less painful - until i felt somewhat normal or not feeling any kind of pain.Read More Read Less

I was taking Atorvastatin. Caused bloating and severe muscle pain. Stopped taking this. Cholesterol got high again but pain eased dramatically. Now 9 months later Doctor put me on Ezetimibe. Took it 5 days. Bloating and pain has returned. Very disgusted right now. Will never take cholesterol melds again. It's not worth it. Quality of life is more important to me at this age.

I cannot take statins since they cause horrible muscle pain. I eat a lot of junk food, that's a given. My cholesterol was always high, cutting back on what what I ate did not do a thing. But this little pill did! My cholesterol is wonderful and within the normal range for all the years I have take it and best of all, NO muscle pain. I would recommend this to everyone...great drug!

Suffered rare but serious consequences on statins. This combined with niacin has exceeded my doctor's expectations.

Taken as part of treatment for type 2 diabetes to lower cholesterol with a statin. Very effective whereas the statin on its own had little effect
