Is Switching From Zetia To Ezetimibe Advisable?
My husband is on Zetia right now but because we need to pick out a prescription D plan I have some questions about switching to Ezetimibe. He has been very sensitive to any changes in his prescription in the past. Do you think there would be a problem changing to the generic drug?
