Zetia (ezetimibe) reaction?: Zetia (ezetimibe) ia well tolerated. Some patients may have liver problems when take it with statins or vibrates. Sweating is not well known to be related to Zetia (ezetimibe) use. Allergic reactions may include rash, itching, swelling of the face, severe dizziness or difficulty breathing.As this drug is not very effective probably switching to some other treatment may be beneficial.
