A major study lifts a cloud around Zetia and Vytorin, blockbuster drugs for lowering cholesterol. The study found that these pills modestly lower the risk of heart attacks and other problems in people at high risk for them – evidence that’s been missing for more than a decade as the drugs racked up billions in sales.
