What Are The Side Effects Of Ezetimibe Post Placement Of Stent?
I had a stent inserted and was told to go on 40mg of statin I refused and went on 20mg I felt bad but did not connect it. I was pressurised to go to 40mg so I went to 30mg and had terrible reaction so went off and slowly got better. so we tried 5mg and that reacted badly worse than when I was on 20mg. Now we are going to try 10mg of EZETIMIBE do you think I will be OK or what side effects should I expect? Thanking you in anticipation. David
