LETIMBLE may be taken with
other cholesterol-lowering
medicines known as statins or

LETIMBLE may be taken with
fenofibrate, another

doctor has prescribed LETIMBLE
to lower the level of plant sterols in

Sitosterolemia is a hereditary illness
that increases the levels of plant
sterols in your blood.
