A member asked:
Is it safe to take zetia (ezetimibe) while pregnant or breastfeeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: According to lactmed, a free, accurate database about medications and breastfeeding, Zetia (ezetimibe) is not recommended during breastfeeding because of concerns about disrupting the baby's lipid metabolism. An alternate drug is preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.
