Through this process, an MRI creates an image of the brain structure. MRI scans are noninvasive, pose little health risk, and can be used on infants and in utero, providing a consistent mode of imaging across the development spectrum.
Zetia is one of many cholesterol-lowering drugs. Photo Credit thodonal/iStock/Getty Images. Zetia is the brand name for the drug ezetimibe. It is the first of a new class of cholesterol-lowering medications. Zetia is not a statin. Statins lower cholesterol by preventing the liver from synthesizing new cholesterol, while Zetia lowers cholesterol by preventing the intestine from absorbing cholesterol into the blood stream.
ZetiaÂ® (ezetimibe) 10 mg once daily is the standard recommended dosage for treating high cholesterol. This is the only Zetia dosage, regardless of age, weight, or other medical conditions you may have. Your Zetia dosage can be taken at any time during the day. However, it should be taken at the same time each day to maintain an even level of the medication in your system. If you are taking Zetia 10 mg tablets with a statin or fenofibrate, you can take both medications at the same time of day. Your Zetia dosage can be taken with or without food. However, do not adjust your Zetia dose unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so.
