What Causes Bowel Urgency After Taking Generic Zetia?
My pharmacy recently switched my name brand Zetia to a generic. Now I have an urgent bowel movement in the morning with bits of excrement floating on top of the water with quantity of brown colored water. It does not have a bad odor nor repeat through the day or feel as though I am ill. I have not had any particular problems with bowels. Female, age 81, generally healthy.

Hi,
The bowel urgency sounds to be intestine flora disturbances through the intake of Ezetimibe.
Primary care with probiotics containing Lactobacillus and later on if a required change in the statin molecule should be considered.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
