Ezetimibe? Ezetimib is a common misspelling of ezetimibe.
Ezetimibe (Zetia®), a type of cholesterol absorption inhibitor, is used to treat high cholesterol and a rare genetic condition called sitosterolemia. Although most people tolerate this prescription medication well, it is not suitable for everyone. Before starting treatment, make sure your healthcare provider is aware of any other medications you are taking (including supplements and vitamins), as well as any medical conditions you have. Possible side effects of ezetimibe include fatigue, diarrhea, and headaches.
