Drug Information - Zetia Equivalent - Ezetimibe
What Is Zetia?
Zetia is the brand name medication for treatment of high blood cholesterol. Zetia works by limiting the amount of cholesterol that is absorbed by the body. Zetia can be prescribed by your doctor by itself or as an addition to a statin. A clinical study showed that patients who added Zetia to a statin reduced the level of bad cholesterol in their body by a further 25% compared to just 4% for patients who were given a placebo. Zetia by itself showed a reduction of bad cholesterol by 18% on average.
What Is Ezetimibe?
Ezetimibe is the generic equivalent of Zetia. Ezetimibe contains the same active ingredients as Zetia and therefore works in the same way yet costs a lot less. Some non-active ingredients will be different such as color. The tablets may look different in shape and size but these will be the only differences. The cost of medication is a problem for many people with bills reaching unaffordable heights. Generic drugs have provided people with affordable medication to allow them to have a better quality of life. If you have been prescribed for Zetia to help you lower your cholesterol levels, ask your doctor about the generic alternative of Ezetimibe.
