Hi,

Zetia (ezetimibe) can cause muscle damage (myopathy or rhabdomyolysis) and patients taking this drug can experience blurry vision as rare side effects. Withdrawal of the drug will eventually alleviate the side effects.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
