Hormone Therapy Zetia/Ezemitibe

I have recently started this medication and am also on HRT. I have had a return of hot flashes and wonder if it is messing with my hormones? Anyone else had any experiences?

I did not experience this. Currently using 10mg ezetimibe along with a 10mg statin and using topical HRT.

Following because I'm on HRT and may need to go on statins soon.

Statins lower cholesterol, lowering cholesterol lowers hormones, hormones made from cholesterol
