Does Zetia Causes Indigestion And Tums Have Not Helped?

I have been taking Zetia for 2 and 1/2 months. I am getting indigestion that keeps me awake at night and now I have indigestion all day. I did not have this problem before taking this drug. I take no other perscription drugs, only vitamins. I take 10 mgs at night with over the counter niacin (1000mg). Will I adjust or will this problem just get worse? Do you think it is the Zetia that is causing the problem? I have tried taking tums and they do not help.

I have gone through question and understand your concerns. Zetia (ezetimibe) can have side effect of stomach pain but it usually don`t cause indigestion. You should avoid spicy foods , and take small frequent meals , eat dinner at least 1 and half hour before sleeping.
Daily exercise and if needed you can use PPIs like omeprazole.
Hope i have answered your concerns if you have any query feel free to ask
Wish you good health.
