Hi: I have a question, my Cardiologist had me start taking a vasodilator to relax the blood vessels and allow better flow. As well as a newer Zitia which is supposed to block the absorption cholesterol by the stomach. My numbers are good 135 but he says that I have too much small particle LDL in my blood. Wondering if anyone else has used either of these med?

See your older post and hoping you will find my reply. I have been on isosorbide mono for your same reason 6 months now. I also take amlodipine. I had tried Zetia (ezetimibe) a few years ago and ended up discontinuing because of side effects. My docs encouraged me to try again and I have tried several times since adding the nitrate varying the frequency. It causes problems in some areas and seems to help in others. What is your latest?
