Side Effects of Ezetimibe: An Introduction
As with any medicine, there are possible side effects of ezetimibe (Zetia®). However, not everyone who takes ezetimibe will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate ezetimibe well. In most cases, when side effects of ezetimibe do occur, they are minor and can easily be treated by you or your healthcare provider. Infrequently, side effects may be more troublesome or serious, and your healthcare provider may need to take you off of ezetimibe.

If while taking ezetimibe you experience unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness -- especially if they are accompanied by a fever or body aches -- it is important that you contact your healthcare provider immediately.
