Hey everyone. My Doctor recently took me off Zocor because of an allergic reaction I was having ( a bad itchy rash on my arms) Anyway he just prescribed me Zetia. My cholesterol was borderline high before I went on Zocor and it has really kept my LDL numbers down. My HDL (good cholesterol) has always been a little on the low side.

My questions is. Has anyone had had any experience with Zetia? What is it's effectiveness? Any side effects?

I'm tempted to try to modify my diet and and skip the Zetia. Eat better, exercise, and lose some weight.

Any thoughts or input would be appreciated.

Thanks
