Zetia

Ezetimibe (Zetia) is an expensive drug used to lower blood cholesterol for patients who are at risk of getting heart disease or a stroke. It is only for patients whose cholesterol level is not controlled by diet. This drug is more popular than comparable drugs. It is available in generic and brand versions. Generic ezetimibe is covered by most Medicare and insurance plans, but some pharmacy coupons or cash prices may be lower.

With the Patient Assistance Program from Merck, you can receive your medication at no cost.
