Well, your doctor is practicing defensive medicine by trying to meet the recommended guidelines for cholesterol, and they think of Zetia as a “safe” agent to add to a statin, since it is not systemically absorbed. These aggressive guidelines are driving the doctors to use so much statin therapy. They are afraid of being sued after a heart attack, if they did not meet the guidelines.
Honestly hadn’t thought of that angle.
You’re probably right, and it just pi$$es me off at the ambulance chasers.
Now I need an interpreter for all my doctors words.
