Anyone on the cholesterol drugs, Vytorin or Zetia?

Question by babyboomer: Anyone on the cholesterol drugs, Vytorin or Zetia?
Front page news today — Study finds the cholesterol-lowering drugs do not slow plaque growth. The news came out of Washington,D.C. It states “whenever you use an ineffective treatment it means you are denying patients effective treatments”.
The companies are under criticism for failing to release the findings sooner. They completed the trial in April 2006 and planned to release the findings by March, 2007. (hard to believe, isn’t it?)
If you are on one of these drugs, are you going to continue taking it? What are you going to do as a result of this news?
