[QUOTE="cugila, post: 179614, member: 15325"] Jane. Ezetimibe is NOT a Statin........it can be prescribed on it's own for those who don't take to Statin's well, or as an adjunct to Statin treatment. It is used to lower levels of total cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol and also triglycerides (fatty substances) in the blood. It also raises the levels of HDL (good) cholesterol. It works by reducing the cholesterol absorbed in the digestive tract. It also can add to the cholesterol lowering effect of Statins. A Statin reduces the amount of cholesterol that your body makes itself. As for avoiding Red Rice Yeast .....isn't that only the products that contain Lovostatins and is aimed mainly at pregnant women ? That's how I understood it....... [/QUOTE]
