Zocor and Zetia for Cholesterol – Have you had an allergic reaction? What prescription did you change to?

by Admin on December 3, 2009

Many years ago, I had a pretty severe allergic reaction to Zocor. I am afraid to take any statins now. My doctor says I really need to lower the Cholesterol – maybe try Zetia. Has anyone had a reaction to a statin and had to try another prescription?

I had a painful reaction when taking Lipitor, Changed to Zocor… did not feel right either.
My Dr then prescribed Vytoryn.. and 2 months into it had a very scary reaction in not being able to lift my hands.
stopped immediately and now I am just taken Zetia…( not a statin) it has worked for me.
good luck,
Diet and exercise and oatmeal are still the best…though
