Zetia blocks the absorption of cholesterol by the body. My sister experienced extreme tiredness and a lot of muscle pain, particularly in some areas (knees and back) where she has arthritis. These potential side effects were not explained to her by the pharmacist or the doctor (I took her to the appointment) and that irritates me. She did ask the doctor specifically and he didn’t mention either side effect. I believe I verified the site effects at web.MD, at least I’m positive I found it on-line. She was sleeping 15 hours a day. She modified her diet and quit taking it.

February 6th, 2010 at 9:27 amI’ve been taking Zetia for quite some time and it doesn’t keep me awake. Also, it does a better job than anything else I’ve taken to keep my cholesterol in check and for that alone I wouldn’t care if it kept me up every night. Zetia is the only one of the cholesterol lowering drugs that doesn’t give me really bad side effects, probably because it doesn’t work in the liver. I have found it to be 2-3 times as effective as the literature states and the docs don’t know why.
