We often think that our sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy diet have little to do with this problem. Foods rich in trans fats, alcohol, smoking and lack of exercise often lead to high cholesterol levels – hyperlipidemia – which, in turn, can lead to cardiovascular disease, including heart attacks.
To prevent this situation, it is advisable to regularly check cholesterol levels. However, if you are faced with the phenomenon described, it is likely that your doctor has already prescribed a special diet and recommended the necessary physical exercises. In some cases, this therapy is sufficient, but it often happens that non-medical methods of treatment do not give the expected results. In these cases, a complex therapy comes to the rescue, which involves the use of cholesterol-lowering drugs in addition to diet. One of them is Zetia, a new class of lipid-lowering drugs that selectively inhibits the absorption of cholesterol and certain plant sterols in the intestine.

What is Zetia and how it affects the body
Zetia is just one part of a complete treatment program, which also includes diet, exercise and weight management. The active ingredient is ezetimibe, which is usually used in combination with statins. This achieves a more pronounced reduction in LDL cholesterol levels and is safer in terms of adverse reactions than increasing the dose of statins in monotherapy. The drug is able to inhibit the absorption of cholesterol without affecting the absorption of other lipid substances.
Indications
Zetia is generally indicated in combination with an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin) as adjunctive dietary therapy in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia (familial heterozygous and non-familial), homozygous sitosterolemia (phytosterolemia), when statin therapy alone is not sufficient.
It is also indicated as monotherapy in patients with familial and non-familial heterozygous primary hypercholesterolemia with intolerance to statins.
Contraindications for use
The drug is contraindicated in case of hypersensitivity to the main substance or to any of the excipients, in liver disease or acute renal failure, prolonged elevation of serum transaminases, thyroid disorders. Do not take during pregnancy, lactation and under 10 years of age.
Before starting treatment, consult a specialist and inform him/her of all medical conditions and medications you are currently taking. This will allow the physician to prescribe the correct and safe regimen and avoid overlapping medications that could be hazardous to your health if taken at the same time.
Side Effects
The drugs are usually well tolerated by patients when used in the recommended dosage. However, allergy, i.e. individual intolerance, can sometimes occur. Cough, abdominal pain, diarrhea, flatulence, dyspepsia, gastroesophageal reflex, nausea, decreased appetite, muscle cramps, neck pain, flushing, hypertension, fatigue, arthralgia, myalgia may also be observed. Increased serum CPK levels, increased gamma-glutamyltransferase levels, increased ALT or AST levels and abnormal liver function test results have also been observed during treatment with Zetia.
In case of side effects, consult your doctor or seek emergency medical advice.
