Yes, there are a few. Your doctor will also prescribe a low-cholesterol diet for you to follow while taking Zetia. This means you should avoid foods that are high in cholesterol and other types of fat.
In addition, you may need to watch out for grapefruit. Zetia isn’t known to interact with grapefruit or any other foods. However, you may need to avoid grapefruit if you take Zetia with a statin, another type of cholesterol medication.
This is because it isn’t safe to eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice while using a statin. Grapefruit can prevent the breakdown of statins in your body, which can raise your levels of these drugs and increase your risk of side effects.
So if you’re taking Zetia with a statin drug, you may need to avoid eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice during your treatment. Learn more about how grapefruit may interact with medications.
If you have any questions about eating certain foods while taking Zetia, talk with your doctor.
