Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
What's your cholesterol levels like?
First we need that information.
If you know so much, then why are you even consulting us.
Do self medication and experiments.
Also, who said we are not prescribing ezitimebe?
Just consult a MD consultant physician in person for further evaluation and management.
Best regards.
