"I took 1 Zetia and my throat swelled up. I wound up in the ER, getting IV steroids and Benadryl. I will never take it again. I cannot take statins due to terrible muscle pain."

"I am shocked at the out-of-pocket price of Zetia of $95.00 a month. Since this seems to be the only non-statin replacement for use with cholesterol, you are definitely price gouging."

"Started on Zetia on top of Crestor. Still taking it but the vivid wild and bizarre dreams at night are awful. Wake up exhausted. I'll continue, but we'll see for how long."

"The safest medication to use. Stay away from statins, deadly medication like Crestor, Lipitor, etc. They can damage you for life. Zetia keeps my cholesterol and triglycerides in the normal range."
