User Reviews for Zetia

Cut my LDL in half when added in combination with Lipitor.

I took it for about 2 years and it did lower my cholesterol somewhat. The entire time that I took it, I sweated profusely with any exercise and I would become light headed. I quit taking Zetia nearly a year ago and have had no horrible sweating episodes since.

I have not had any bad experiences with this medicine since I started taking it. I am very pleased it is working so well for me.

My medical professionals advise that my bad cholesterol numbers are good or better than they have expected.

I have used this at 1/2 the prescribed dosage for over a year. My cholesterol levels have improved dramatically even at the lower dosage. I do not believe my cholesterol is a problem but have succumbed to my doctor. I would not take statins although my insurance company says I should. I am pleased with the results.

Tried several statins but both resulted in terrible muscle pain despite working to reduce both LDL and HDL levels. After switching to Zetia, no more muscle pains while lowering my LDL and maintaining my HDL levels.

Put my heart into A-fibrillation. It was discontinued and no sign of A-fibrillation in heart when checked.

So far no muscle pain with this medication. Very expensive over $100 for 1 month supply, and no generic.

I take 20mg of Crestor in addition to Zetia and have for 5 years or more with no side effects. I asked my doctor to take me off Zetia for 6 months to see what my numbers would look like without it. For me, it knocks about 40 points off the total score, so I'm back on Zetia again.
