ZETIA helps low er cholesterol differently.
Statins, the most common cholesterol-lowering
medicines, are a good option. They work mainly with
the liver. ZETIA works in the digestive tract, as do
some other cholesterol-lowering medicines.
But ZETIA is unique in the way it helps block the
absorption of cholesterol that comes from food.
Unlike some statins, ZETIA
has not been show n to
prevent heart disease or
heart attacks.
A healthy diet and exercise
are important, but sometimes
they’re not enough to get your
cholesterol where it needs to
be. ZETIA can complement
your efforts. When added to
a healthy diet, ZETIA can
lower bad cholesterol (LDL) by an average of 18%.
Individual results may vary.

taken by people who are allergic to any of its ingredi-
