Description

Zocor (generic name: simvastatin; brand names include: Simlup / Simcardis / Ranzolont / Simvador) is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor or "statin" used in combination with a low-cholesterol and low-fat diet to lower the amount of cholesterol and other fatty substances in your blood.

Zocor may also be used in certain adolescent patients, age 10 to 17 years, who have a genetically caused cholesterol problem.

Zocor also helps prevent medical problems caused by cholesterol:

Zocor reduces the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and the need for revascularization procedures in patients at high risk of coronary events. It is used as a risk factor intervention in patients at significantly increased risk for atherosclerotic vascular disease due to hypercholesterolemia.

Zocor works by slowing the production of cholesterol in the body.

Zocor User Reviews

Lowered cholesterol, but has a major side effect.. I've been taking 20mg of Zocor for over a year now - my bloodwork is terrific - my number is down to 198 - BUT, I noticed that my sex drive is totally gone - absolutely nothing.

I felt I was going to die. I have several health problems one of them being diabetic. I was put on Zocor as insurance over possible heart problems in the future. My cholesterol was good but my doc said it could be even better with the drug. After taking it for a few months my bad cholesterol did go down 2 points. I took the drug for two years. Before the drug I was working and exercising at the YMCA 3x a week. Felt pretty good. Very insidiously I started to deteriorate. It happens very slowly and you don't really connect it to the Zocor I thought the CFS and Fibro were getting worse but the doctors didn't seem to think so. I just went downhill so much so that one morning I was planning how I could get around better if I got a wheelchair and could have someone push me around on weekends, so that I could just get out.

I came across an email on my diabetic list about statin drugs and how two other ladies were having severe side effects and had to get off of the drug. Their symptoms were the same as mine: debilitating unrelenting muscle pain, headaches, flu like symptoms. Felt like I had exercised for hours when all I could do is lay in bed, in pain. Constant traveling pain+++ You can't think right or express yourself properly (forgetting train of thought or words) muscle twitching, depression, faintness, paleness, clammy skin.

Stopped Zocor in April '04 of my own accord. It's been 4 months now. I am now disabled. I cannot work at all. It was about three days after stopping the Zocor that the 24/7 muscle pain subsided to half the pain. I'm sure I've had muscle damage. I'm not sure how much of my good health will come back. I'm better in some ways but totally wiped out in other ways. I'm taking CO enzyme Q-10. Thanks to my aunt buying it for me. She was in the same boat as I was, so sick for so long that she thought she was going to die too.. she being older. I warned her about the statin she was taking. She's been off the statins for 3 months and SO happy. She's b

Works Great No side effects, and brought me right to the normal range in two months.

works for me I have been on Zocor for several years with no side effects.

The lifestyle changes which I still try to maintain (low fat diet, keep weight down, exercise) did not work to keep my cholesterol down. I believe my high cholesterol is partly genetic; my father and all his siblings have high cholesterol.

Zocor has helped lower and keep my cholesterol level low.
