It's interesting that your article fails to mention that this study was supported by another evil drug company called Abbott Labs, and that they weren't comparing Merck's Zetia to OTC niacin but to Abbot's proprietary formulation of niacin called Niaspan.

This study is not an indictment of other cholesterol lowering drugs like Lipitor and Crestor that stop cholesterol production in the liver. These two drugs have a long and solid track record of saving lives.

The lead investigator of the study said the study was concluded early because the results were clear and there was no need continue subjecting the Zetia patients to something that wasn't working. Mindlessly bashing the pharmaceutical industry should be left to the mindless.

If you are on a niacin therapy, you better be getting your liver enzymes checked regularly.
