Just a little info I found about Zetia. Zetia does not make me ache all over like the statins do.


"Statins work mainly with your liver to help lower bad cholesterol. ZETIA is a cholesterol-lowering medicine that works differently than a statin. ZETIA works in the digestive tract, where it helps block the absorption of cholesterol from the food you eat."
