Zetia (Ezetimibe)

Zetia

Zetia (ezetimibe) is a prescription medication used to treat high cholesterol by limiting cholesterol absorption in the body. It should be taken as part of a holistic approach to lower “bad” cholesterol, which includes a healthy diet and exercise. Zetia does not help you lose weight and should not be treated as part of a weight-loss solution. Zetia has not been tested on children under 10 years old. There is no indication that Zetia is effective in preventing a heart attack or stroke. Zetia should only be used if healthy diet and exercise are not enough to lower “bad” cholesterol.

About Bad Cholesterol

Low-density lipoprotein or LDL cholesterol is called “bad” cholesterol because of how it builds up in your arteries and creates blockages. These blockages significantly increase your risk of heart attack and stroke. This plaque build-up happens naturally, but a poor diet consisting of preserved meats and store-bought baked products, and lack of exercise also contribute to increased bad cholesterol levels.

Not all cholesterol is bad. High-density lipoprotein or “good” cholesterol removes LDL cholesterol from the arteries and carries it back to the liver where it is safely broken down. High amounts of HDL cholesterol are considered healthy and lower the risk of heart disease. A nutrient-rich diet and weekly exercise contribute to increased HDL levels.

About Zetia

Can be taken with or without food. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Take as prescribed. Do not take more Zetia that you need to. Do not take Zetia unless it was prescribed by your doctor. Do not give someone else unprescribed Zetia or any other medications, even if they experience similar symptoms, as it could harm them. Tell your doctor about all other medications you are taking including prescription and over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, supplements, and herbal remedies. Zetia can interact with certain medications. Continue to eat a low-cholesterol diet and to ask your doctor for nutritional advice.

It’s important to continue taking Zetia until otherwise indicated by your doctor. Schedule regular blood tests with your doctor to determine cholesterol levels. Zetia can be taken alone or with another cholesterol medication.

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, nursing, or thinking of becoming pregnant. You should not take Zetia with another statin medication if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as this can seriously harm your unborn baby.

Store your medication at room temperature in a cool, dark, dry area. To get the maximum benefit of Zetia, use regularly. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it’s close to your next scheduled dose, skip it. Do not take a double dose to catch up. In the event of an overdose, contact poison control or seek immediate medical attention.

Inactive ingredients include croscarmellose sodium, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, povidone, and sodium lauryl sulfate.

If you are a woman of childbearing age, you should use an effective method of birth control to prevent pregnancy while using Zetia added to statin therapy.

Possible Side Effects of Zetia

This is not a complete publication of the possible side effects for Zetia. Consult the product literature or speak to your doctor for more information. According to the official product information:

In clinical studies, patients reported few side effects while taking Zetia. These included diarrhea, joint pains, and feeling tired. Patients have experienced severe muscle problems while taking Zetia, usually when Zetia was added to a statin drug. If you experience unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness while taking Zetia, contact your doctor immediately. You need to do this promptly, because, on rare occasions, these muscle problems can be serious, with muscle breakdown resulting in kidney damage. Additionally, the following side effects have been reported in general use: allergic reactions (which may require treatment right away) including swelling of the face, lips, tongue, and/or throat that may cause difficulty in breathing or swallowing, rash, and hives; raised red rash, sometimes with target-shaped lesions; joint pain; muscle aches; alterations in some laboratory blood tests; liver problems; stomach pain; inflammation of the pancreas; nausea; dizziness; tingling sensation; depression; headache; gallstones; inflammation of the gallbladder.
