Zetia Information:
What is Zetia?
Zetia, or ezetimibe, is a cholesterol-lowering medication that works differently than statin cholesterol medications. Statins help to lower cholesterol by inhibiting its production in the liver. Zetia works in the digestive tract to stop the absorption of cholesterol from food into the small intestine. A decrease in cholesterol absorption or intake also stimulates cells to uptake more LDL cholesterol, leading to a decrease in levels of LDL cholesterol in the blood plasma. Zetia may also be used to lower elevated levels of sitosterol and campesterol.
How do I take Zetia?
Use free Zetia coupons or a discount card from HelpRx to reduce the price in your local pharmacy. Zetia comes as a tablet to be taken orally without regard to food. This medication is usually prescribed in 10mg doses to be taken once daily. If combining Zetia with other medications, follow your doctor’s instructions regarding your dosing schedule. Most statin cholesterol medications may be taken at the same time as your Zetia pill. Bile acid sequestrants should not be taken at the same time. Zetia should be taken while following a diet and exercise plan for best results.
Before taking Zetia, tell your doctor if:
- You have liver disease or other liver complications.
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are allergic to any of the ingredients in Zetia.
- You have kidney or thyroid problems.
- You are taking other prescription or nonprescription drugs, vitamins, or supplements, especially other cholesterol medications and cyclosporine.
- You have unexplained muscle pain or tenderness.
What are the possible side effects of taking Zetia?
Possible side effects from taking Zetia include headache, diarrhea, mild stomach pain, dizziness, joint pain, and a runny or stuffy nose. Call your doctor at once if you experience a rare or serious side effect such as unusual muscle pain or tenderness, loss of appetite, yellowing of the skin or eyes, chest pain, fever, severe skin rash, and pancreatitis (severe pain in the upper abdomen that spreads to the back, nausea, vomiting, and elevated heart rate).
What if I forget to take a dose of Zetia?
If you forget to take a dose of Zetia, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it’s almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue on your regular schedule. Do not take two doses in the same day to compensate for a missed one.
How do I store Zetia?
Store Zetia in an airtight container at a room temperature between 59 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep your medication out of reach of children and pets and protect it from excessive heat and moisture.
What happens if I overdose on Zetia?
There have been no reports of serious adverse effects from a Zetia overdose. If you or someone you knows has taken an excessive amount of medication, contact the Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.
Warnings
Keep all lab appointments and doctor’s appointments while taking Zetia. Your doctor will need to monitor your cholesterol levels.
