Cholesterol drug not linked to cancer
    (Reuters)

 



Reuters - Contrary to a recent report, findings from a large-scale study suggest that the cholesterol-lowering drug Zetia (also known by the generic name, ezetimibe) does not increase the risk of cancer. This also holds true for Vytorin, which combines ezetimibe with simvastatin, another cholesterol-lowering agent.
