Resolved Question: Do you think it's true that Zetia doesn't work?

Just wondering if it's only the Pravastatin that is working. Do you take Zetia? Please let me know if it's working for you...with nothing extra. E ma..Thanks sooo much for that link. WOW.. I think I better start paying attention to my symptoms. Maybe I should stop using Zetia..and just take pravastatin. I'll ask a question abo

Resolved Question: Why doesn't Zetia come in dosages greater than 10mg?
(Thu, 20 Aug 2009 13:25:29 GMT)
Zetia, since it metabolizes in the digestive track and not the liver, is my best bet in lowering cholesterol, but my latest test show the cholesterol level is still high. I understand Zetia only comes in 10mg dosages. Why is that? Wouldn't a higher dosage be preferable for someone like me who has side effects from statins contained in other cholesterol drugs. Please help! Thanks

What is the best cholesterol lowering medicine? I had a heart attack two years ago with triple bypass surgery at University of Virginia Hospital. I prescribed Vytorin by UVA. My total cholesterol was staying below 200. My family doctor switched me to Zocor about two months ago and my level went to 203, he then added Zetia three days ago. My brother and sister both take Lipitor (my brother had triple bypass surgery 18 mos. before I did at the same hospital, but no heart attack). My bad choleste

I had a cath yesterday and have been started on Imdur and Zetia. I feel terrible ! Tenderness in the groin area, not bad, but I've had a non-stop headache since the procedure..... regular headache and also feels like a sinus headache. I'm VERY tired but can't seem to sleep for very long. My BP and pulse are excellent but I can feel every heart beat.... with an ocassional skipped beat. I did not have any blockages to speak of; no angioplasty, no stent. How long will I feel like this ?

Resolved Question: What drugs can be used to lower inflammation (c-reactive protein) levels besides statins?
(Thu, 18 Dec 2008 01:45:53 GMT)
My mom has elevated LDL cholesterol and c-reactive protein levels. She is unable to take statin drugs, due to the muscle damage problem. She tried niacin, and couldn't tolerate that. She is currently taking Zetia, but it seems that current research is showing that zetia will reduce cholesterol all right, but does nothing to lower heart attack risk, probably because inflammation is the main issue there. I did a little research and found out some stuff about bile acid resins and fibrates, drugs

Resolved Question: 200mg cholesterol a lethal level?
(Sun, 16 Nov 2008 05:31:21 GMT)
50% of Americans are dying of clogged arteries from cholesterol. Normal cholesterol of 75 -120mg equals NO heart attacks. Why every one should take lowering agents. Statins + Zetia. Heart attacks are dropping rapidly already because of these meds. Even in people who have already had a heart attack. All true. But low dose statins with zetia has a good record. Unfortunately, people will not or can not change their lifestyle easily. I am told that most all cardiologists are on statins. a

Resolved Question: How does ezetimibe (Zetia/Ezetrol) increase HDL-C?
(Wed, 02 Jul 2008 09:13:29 GMT)
Ezetemibe, which is a cholesterol lowering medication, and is marketed with the brand names of Zetia or Ezetrol, lowers blood cholesterol by inhibiting its intestinal absorption by acting on Niemann-Pick C1Like1 (NPC1L1) in the intestinal brush border. Ezetimibe causes a decrease in LDL-C. I want to know, that how does Ezetimibe result in an "increase" in the HDL cholesterol (HDL-C)?

Latest news from the American Heart Association: "The ENHANCE trial found that the ezetimibe/simvastatin (Zetia/Zocor) combination drug known as Vytorin was no more effective in reducing artery plaque build-up than simvastatin (Zocor) alone. Additional studies by the Institute of Creation Studies showed that accepting Christ into one's heart only mildly improved the artery plaque build-up situation, but greatly reduced sexual performance.

I suffered a heart attack in October 2006. My cardiac doctor put me on 80 MG Lipitor upon my release from the hospital. A few months later he also prescribed Zetia. The study on Zetia was completed in April 2006 but only released to the public in January 2008. As of right now the only thing I can actually determine is that I paid a whole lot more for Zetia than a generic that would have given me the same results.
