"I am shocked at the out of pocket price of Zetia of out of $95,00 a month. Since this seems to be on only non statin replacement of the use with cholesterol you are definitely price gouging"

"Started on Zetia on top of Crestor. Still taking it but the vivid wild and bizarre dreams at night are awful. Wake up exhausted. I'll continue, but we'll see for how long."

"The safest medication to use. Stay away from statins, deadly medication like Crestor, Lipitor, etc. They can damage you for life. Zetia keeps my cholesterol and triglycerides in the normal range."
