Generic name: Simvastatin
The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product
Zocor (Simvastatin) is an enzyme blocker (a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor), which is also referred to as a statin. When used in conjunction with a proper diet and exercise, Zocor (Simvastatin) will help lower cholesterol and triglycerides (fats) that are in the blood. Usually when Zocor (Simvastatin) is prescribed, the patient has already tried with little success to reduce cholesterol with diet and exercise alone. Reducing triglycerides and cholesterol is important in preventing heart attacks and strokes. Zocor can be used to treat adults and children over the age of 10. It can only be prescribed to young females if they have had their menstrual period for at least one year.
In rare cases, Simvastatin causes a condition that creates a breakdown in the skeletal muscle tissue, which can also lead to kidney failure. Contact your physician right away if you experience unexplained muscle pain, weakness, tenderness, dark coloured urine, or any fever or flu-like symptoms.
Zocor (Simvastatin) is not intended for women who are pregnant or may become pregnant because it can cause birth defects in unborn babies. Use birth control while using Zocor and tell your doctor immediately if you become pregnant during treatment. Women who are nursing or who have liver disease should not use Zocor (Simvastatin).
Talk with your doctor if you have an under active thyroid, kidney disease, blood disorder, muscle disorder, or diabetes. While taking Zocor (Simvastatin), you should avoid foods that are high in cholesterol and fat. Your medication cannot be as effective at lowering cholesterol if you do not maintain a diet that is low in cholesterol and fat as well.
Zocor (Simvastatin) can cause an allergic reaction in some patients. If you experience any of the following symptoms of an allergic reaction, you should seek emergency medical attention. These symptoms include breathing difficulties, hives or skin rashes, swelling in your throat, tongue, lips, or face. Mild side effects associated with the use of Zocor (Simvastatin) can include mild stomach pains from gas or bloating, sour stomach, or heartburn, nausea, diarrhoea, or constipation. Let your doctor know if these symptoms are persistent or become bothersome.
