What Are The Side Effects Of Zetia Tablets?

Started zetia for high cholesterol. Prior to I have been taking Welchol because I am highly sensitive to statins. Doc wanted me to try zetia as the welchol is not lowering my cholesterol numbers. I am experiencing similar symptoms I did when taking statins in the past. What are the side effects of zetia?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Every medication has potential side effects that may or may not occur.

Zetia is not in the statin family of medications.

The potential side effects of zetia are fatigue, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, muscle aches, coughing.

If you are noting effects then you may need to speak to your doctor if they are intolerable.

I hope this helps
