Simvastatin lowers the level of total and LDL ("bad") cholesterol and triglycerides. LDL cholesterol is believed to be an important cause of coronary artery disease. Lowering LDL cholesterol levels slows and may even reverse coronary artery disease. Zocor also increases HDL ("good") cholesterol. Raising HDL cholesterol levels, like lowering LDL cholesterol may slow coronary artery disease. Zocor is indicated for reducing the risk of mortality by reducing death from coronary heart disease, reducing nonfatal myocardial infarction (heart attack) and stroke, and reducing the need for coronary and noncoronary revascularization procedures.

FAQ about Generic Zocor
How does Simvastatin work?
Simvastatin reduces cholesterol by inhibiting an HMG-CoA reductase enzyme in the liver that is necessary for the production of cholesterol.
Side effects of Zocor
The most common side effects of Zocor are headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, muscle pain, and abnormal liver tests.
Guidelines before using Simvastatin
Large quantities of grape fruit juice (>1 quart daily) will increase blood levels of simvastatin and increase the risk of muscle toxicity from Zocor. Simvastatin increases the effect of warfarin and the blood concentration of digoxin. Cholestyramine decreases the absorption of Zocor. Therefore, simvastatin should only be taken 2 hours before or at least 4 hours after cholestyramine administration. Pregnant women should not use simvastatin because the developing fetus requires cholesterol for development, and simvastatin reduces the production of cholesterol. Patient should be advised to perform liver tests at regular intervals. Zocor may infrequently cause muscle damage which can rarely lead to a very serious, fatal, condition called rhabdomyolysis.
What are the common dosages of Zocor?
The dose range of Zocor is 5-80 mg/day given preferably in the evening. The usual staring dose of Simvastatin is 20-40 mg once daily.
