I am presently taking Zetia every other day. I also take Omega 3/6, vitamin A,E. With Zetia interfere with the absorption of the benefits of these supplements and if so what can I do to get the full benefit of Zetia and the supplements, if anything.
Ar there any other supplements that should be avoided while taking Zetia?
Many thanks.

None that I know of, however, since it is a Statin, I would add a CoQ10 supplement as the Statins completely deplete it from your system.
I don't know any supplements per se that should be avoided with Zetia. You can always check with your pharmacist or read the medication leaflet with medication.

If Zetia affects the absorption of fat in the small intestines, then it WILL most likely affeect the absorption of fal soluble vitamins as well. The side effects from Zetia....muscle weakness, joint pain, upper respiratory infectikns resemble the symptoms of malabsorption of Vitamin A,D, E and K. Our bodies need cholestorol to help coat our nerves and help with brain function and it naturally increases as we get older, so why are we trying to lower it, could this be why we are seeing so many people with dementia?
