Brief Answer:
doesn't matter that much...

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Zetia is pretty convenient because you can take it with or without food and the timing is not very important. If you take a statin too, then it would be a good idea to take them together at night. The statins have to be taken at night because they're more effective at that time. Zetia timing won't affect its efficacy.

I hope you find my comments helpful!
