Thank you for the informative video on Ezetimibe. The detailed explanation of its benefits, potential side effects, and its synergistic effects with other medications was particularly helpful.

Thanks for the information! I am on this without statins since I’m only 25 and I didn’t want to take statins so young!

Thanks for this informative video. I stopped taking crestor due to side effects (muscle aches) and started this drug instead. My biggest concern is will it cause dementia as my mother has dementia and is a long time on statins, anti hypertensives, untreated sleep apnoea.

I felt horrible on statins. Felt like death on zetia. I quit using zetia in 2 weeks. That stuff is poison.

Would you please be so kind as to tell me your thoughts on the Paliperidone depot. My daughter has been put on it - not with her permission- & this has continued for over a year.
I fear the side- effects for her mental/ emotional & physical . health. Thank you.

Zeta is not a statin. It is an alternative to statin.
