My DH has tried Rosuvastatin and Atorvastatin and both upset his stomach really badly.

He is about to start Ezetimide and wondered how others have found it

I was put on it as well as Atorvastatin to lower my cholesterol . I had no problems and it worked well. After six months I no longer needed it.

DH is on this as he couldn’t tolerate other statins. He is on on it.

I take it along with the maximum dose of Atorvastatin, no problem so far!

I was prescribed Atorvastatin but had awful side effects. I then tried Simavastatin, same problem. Then Rosuvastatin, same again.

I started taking Ezetimibe in January. No problems so far. I had a blood test last week to see if it had made any difference to my cholesterol. Unfortunately it hasn’t gone down as much as I would have liked, 5.1 from 6.5.

I looked up t my results on line and noticed that my Dr has put ‘no action’ so as I am moving soon and will be changing surgeries I will leave it at that.
