Zetia side effects

Posted by zephyr2309 @zephyr2309, 20 hours ago

Hello - anyone experience side effects with Zetia? I cannot take any statins due to side effects; believe me, my cardiologist and I have tried them all over the years. I am on Praluent, a PCSK9 inhibitor ( like Repatha). Decided to try Zetia, and after almost two weeks, I’m ready to stop. Grateful for Praluent, which I can tolerate. I have HeFH.
Thanks

I experienced a mild heart attack almost 6 years ago due to LAD 95% blockage. Statins were terrible so I’ve been on Zetia for 5 years with no side effects. My LDL is about 70, triglycerides 65 and HDL 85.

I am on Zetia for almost 2 years. I am allergic to almost everything, so was surprised when I did not encounter any issues with this medication.

Thanks for your response. After two weeks, I am pretty sure I’m experiencing some side effects.
Glad you’re doing well.

I take it with no problems, but it's like any other medication. The majority of people don't have issues, but there's a percentage that do. I hope you can use an alternative, or that the side effects go away.
