I have been taking Zetia(10 mgm) for over 6 months with short breaks when I was sick or took antibiotics. My gut has not been right since. I have had severe gastritis( NOT caused by bacteria) and recent bouts of lower abdominal pain requiring ER visits and a hospitalization for suspected diverticulitis. All extensive tests negative for that or any other reason.. Surgeon called it IBS but I never had anything this bad ( I am 65). My prescribing doc said to stop the Zetia--and I am NOT going to take it again.
