A Different way to control CHOLESTEROL

Blood cholesterol and dietary cholesterol are two different types of cholesterol. Dietary cholesterol is found in food of animal origin. Blood cholesterol is a waxy substance that occurs naturally in the body. Since cholesterol is not soluble in blood, it is carried around in a protein-coated package called a lipoprotein. High-density lipoprotein or HDL is known as the good package for cholesterol. Low-density lipoprotein or LDL is the bad package for cholesterol.

Cholesterol is a significant factor in the development of coronary heart disease, or CHD.
A person's risk of developing CHD within 10 years is determined by using information from the Framingham Heart Study. This 10-year risk is calculated from a formula that takes the following into account:
*age
*cigarette smoking
*HDL cholesterol
*systolic bloodpressure, which is the top number on a blood pressure
reading total cholesterol
*treatment for high blood pressure

ZETIA is unique in the way it helps block the absorption of cholesterol that comes from food. Statins work mainly with the liver. ZETIA works in the digestive tract, as do some other medicines.
healthy food and exercise control cholesterol but you also take a statin. ZETIA, along with a statin, has been proven to lower bad cholesterol approximately 25%.* These are average results. Individual results may vary.

ZETIA is a prescription medicine and should not be taken by people who are allergic to any of its ingredients. ZETIA can be taken alone or with a statin. Statins should not be taken by women who are nursing or pregnant or who may become pregnant, or by anyone with liver problems. If you have ever had liver problems or are pregnant or nursing, your doctor will decide if ZETIA alone is right for you. Your doctor may do blood tests to check your liver before you start taking ZETIA with a statin and during treatment.
