Comment:
I was taking Atorvastatin. Caused bloating and severe muscle pain. Stopped taking this. Cholesterol got high again but pain eased dramatically. Now 9 months later Doctor put me on Ezetimibe. Took it 5 days. Bloating and pain has returned. Very disgusted right now. Will never take cholesterol melds again. It's not worth it. Quality of life is more important to me at this age.

Cardiologist prescribed Zetia. Cost too much. Purchase Generic form (ezetimibe ) from Canadian Pharmacy. Works great! Cardiologist is very pleased with the results.

Suffered rare but serious consequences on statins. This combined with niacin has exceeded my doctor's expectations.
