Generic Zetia vs Brand Zetia
If you are having a tough time making up your mind between the brand or generic, you might be interested to know that there are very minor differences between brand and generic Zetia; both medications contain the medical ingredient Ezetimibe. Ezetimibe is marketed by Merk as Zetia in the USA only; Zetia is known as Ezetrol in the rest of the world. Keep in mind that Blue sky drugs is a global pharmacy and your order of Zetia may have an alternate name depending on its country of origin; an alternate name DOES NOT make the medication a generic. Generic Zetia or Ezetimibe is manufactured outside of a Merk facility; this is the biggest difference between Zetia and Ezetimibe. Generic Ezetimibe and Zetia are identical in dose, strength, safety, efficacy, chemical makeup and therapeutic use. At Blue Sky Drugs, we stand behind our products 100% and only provide you with the highest quality products from fully licensed pharmacies. If you have any questions regarding the generic manufacturers for Zetia or have any concerns feel free to contact us, call toll-free: 1-866-995-7387 or by email at: CustomerService@BlueSkyDrugs.com
How Ezetimibe Works
Ezetimibe is the active medicinal ingredient found in Zetia; this medication is used to lower cholesterol. Ezetimibe works by decreasing the body’s ability to absorb cholesterol and unlike “statins” Ezetimibe works in the digestive tract rather than the liver. It is used along with a healthy diet and exercise regime and can be taken alone or in combination with other cholesterol medications. The recommended dosage for Ezetimibe is 10mg once daily or as directed by your doctor.
Ezetimibe Possible Side Effects
While taking Ezetimibe you may experience the following side effects:
• back pain
• coughing
• diarrhea
• dizziness
• fatigue
• headache
• joint pain
• sinus infections
• throat infections
Contact your doctor if you experience any of the above side effects and are becoming bothersome or severe.
Ezetimibe Guidelines
Ezetimibe is not for everyone; if you are allergic to Ezetimibe do not take Zetia/Ezetrol. Tell your doctor about any medical conditions you may have or any medications you are currently taking. If you have reduced liver function you must be regularly monitored by your doctor as Ezetimibe may cause liver damage.
