Taking Ezetimibe With Other Medicines And Herbal Supplements

Cautions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way ezetimibe works and increase the chances of you having side effects.

Tell a doctor if you're taking any of these medicines before you start ezetimibe:

• ciclosporin, a medicine used to treat psoriasis or after an organ transplant
• medicines used to prevent blood clots, such as warfarin
• other medicines used for lowering cholesterol (this does not include statins), such as colestyramine or bezafibrate

Mixing ezetimibe with herbal remedies and supplements

There's not enough information to say that complementary medicines, herbal remedies and supplements are safe to take with ezetimibe. They're not tested in the same way as pharmacy and prescription medicines. They're generally not tested for the effect they have on other medicines.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you're taking any other medicines, including herbal remedies, vitamins or supplements.
