Launch of Generic Zetia

Released: 12/12/2016   By: Carl Richie, Pharmacy Director

The FDA has recently approved the generic equivalent of Zetia (ezetimibe). Zetia is used to treat high cholesterol by reducing the amount of cholesterol absorbed by the body. Zetia is manufactured in the 10mg strength and the generic ezetimibe is now available.

Generic prescription drugs approved by the FDA have the same high quality and strength as brand name drugs. Generic prescription drug manufacturing and packaging sites must pass the same quality standards as those of brand name drugs.
