What is ZETIA?
ZETIA is the brand name for ezetimibe and is available as an oral tablet.
What dosages is ZETIA available in?

What is ZETIA used for?
ZETIA is a cholesterol absorption inhibitor and is used for the treatment of high cholesterol in certain people.
How does ZETIA work?
ZETIA is a cholesterol absorption inhibitor. It works by lowering the amount of “bad” cholesterol (called LDL) that’s absorbed from your gut.
How do I take ZETIA?
ZETIA is typically taken as 10 mg by mouth once per day with or without food.
Is it safe for me to take ZETIA?
ZETIA is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you. You should not use this medication if you have any of the following:
- Hypersensitivity to ezetimibe or any excipient of ZETIA. (4)
- When used in combination with a statin, fenofibrate, or other LDL-C lowering therapy, ZETIA is contraindicated in patients for whom a statin, fenofibrate, or other LDL-C lowering therapy are contraindicated

- Upper respiratory tract infection
- Diarrhea

ZETIA Serious Side Effects
Serious side effects are rare with ZETIA.
Effects of other drugs, drug classes and over-the-counter products on ZETIA
The following medications may interact with ZETIA:
- Cyclosporine: Combination increases exposure of ZETIA and cyclosporine. Cyclosporine concentrations should be monitored in patients taking ZETIA concomitantly
- Fibrates: Coadministration of ZETIA with fibrates other than fenofibrate is not recommended until use in patients is adequately studied. If cholelithiasis is suspected in a patient receiving ZETIA and fenofibrate, gallbladder studies are indicated, and alternative lipidlowering therapy should be considered
- Bile Acid Sequestrants: Cholestyramine combination decreases exposure of ZETIA
