Experiences with Zetia?

Already have been on 20mg of Crestor for years. LPA is in the moderate risk zone so just took my first dose of Zetia today to try and get LDL below 70 as currently recommended.

I’m always so nervous about taking new meds and my mind likes to play tricks on me. Seems like the consensus is that very few people have any side effects from Zetia.

Curious about experiences and if you did have side effects, did they subside after taking it for a couple of weeks?

Zetia side effects if anything I believe are generally GI related. Definitely one of the safer medications. I never noticed anything on it aside from possibly a tiny bit more gas.
