In June 2003, Schering-Plough altered the label for Zetia to
include a warning that it may be associated with allergic
reactions, including angioedema, a skin disease
characterized by patches of circumscribed swelling of the
hands, feet, lips and eyelids. Patients suffering from
angioedema often experience swelling of the mucous membranes
and the viscera (internal organs of the body). Breathing is
sometimes difficult, and in severe cases the disease can be
fatal. Rash has also been linked to Zetia use.
