That was about 4 years ago, or so - and I've been taking it ever since, with no side effects whatsoever. I did have to argue with my doc and demand that she allow me to try it initially, as she is a true believer in the positive work of statins on cholesterol levels. But I did change her mind on that.
I asked my Dr. about Zetia too, Bob, and he said it doesn't work for my situation, so....I tried.
