Description
Chemical Name: EZETIMIBE (eh-ZET-eh-mib) ZETIA is a prescription medication that reduces the level of cholesterol or other sterols that are absorbed by your body from your diet. It works alongside a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet to control high cholesterol. Some physicians may also prescribe ZETIA with other cholesterol-lowering medications to treat high blood sitosterol and campesterol. This medication is intended as part of a treatment program that includes a low-cholesterol diet along with exercise and weight control.

Directions
ZETIA should be used exactly as prescribed by your physician. Patient should follow the prescription label instructions for safe use. Do not take in excess amounts, or take it for longer than recommended. Generally, ZETIA is taken once a day, with or without food. It is recommended to take this medication at the same time each day. ZETIA is intended as part of a treatment program that includes diet, exercise, and weight control. Follow your diet, medication, and exercise routines very closely. Do not take ZETIA with: - cholestyramine (Prevalite, Questran)
- colestipol (Colestid)
- colesevelam (Welchol)
Patients are advised to wait at least 4 hours after taking any of these medicines, before taking ZETIA. Alternately, patients may take ZETIA 2 hours before taking any of these other medication. ZETIA can be taken with: - fenofibrate (Antara, Lipofen, Lofibra, TriCor, Triglide)
- any of the "statin" drugs (Mevacor, Zocor, Pravachol, Lescol or Lipitor)
The effects of this medication may take up to 2 weeks to realize. For optimal results, continue using ZETIA as directed.

Cautions
To make sure you can safely use ZETIA, tell your doctor if you have any of these conditions:
- any allergies to ezetimibe or other chemicals contained in ZETIA
- liver disease
- kidney disease
- thyroid disorder
- if you use steroid medicine or hormones (including birth control pills)
- pregnant or breast-feeding
Speak with your doctor about your individual risks and benefits.
Avoid eating foods that are high in fat or cholesterol. ZETIA will not be as effective in lowering your cholesterol if you do not follow a cholesterol-lowering diet plan.
