Good morning Alternatepatel; Okay, so I use my one post limit to respond to your post. IMHO, Vascepa has nothing to worry about from Zetia itself; I went to http://www.drugs.com/sfx/zetia-side-effects.html. The following were side effects warnings for the Consumer. Applies to ezetimibe: oral tablet

Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction while taking ezetimibe (the active ingredient contained in Zetia) hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:

unusual muscle weakness, tenderness, or pain;
nausea, stomach pain, low fever, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes);
chest pain;
pancreatitis (severe pain in your upper stomach spreading to your back, nausea and vomiting, fast heart rate); or
fever, sore throat, and headache with a severe blistering, peeling, and red skin rash.
Less serious side effects of ezetimibe may include:

numbness or tingly feeling;
mild stomach pain, diarrhea;
tired feeling;
headache;
dizziness;
depressed mood;
runny or stuffy nose, cold symptoms;
joint pain, back pain; or
cough.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. I do have an uneasy feeling about MERCKs Marketing prowess however. If the old adage that good salesman can sell ice cubes to Eskimos. Then this could affect Vascepa sales. Once people start a medication prescribed by their "trusted" physician, it's hard to switch the patients back or change their meds if they're not having any of these side effects.
