| Zocor is a cholesterol-lowering drug. Your doctor may prescribe Zocor in addition to a cholesterol-lowering diet if your blood cholesterol level is too high, and if you have been unable to lower it by diet alone. For people at high risk of heart disease, current guidelines call for considering drug therapy when LDL levels reach 130. For people at lower risk, the cut-off is 160. For those at little or no risk, it's 190.
In people with high cholesterol and heart disease, Zocor reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke and "mini-stroke", and can stave off the need for bypass surgery or angioplasty to clear clogged arteries.
Most patients tolerate treatment with Zocor well; however, like all prescription drugs, Zocor can cause side effects, and some of them can be serious. Side effects that do occur are usually mild and short-lived. Only your doctor can weigh the risks versus the benefits of Zocor. In clinical studies with Zocor, less than 1.5% of patients dropped out of the studies because of side effects. In a large, long-term study, patients taking Zocor experienced similar side effects to those patients taking placebo (sugar pills). Some of the side effects that have been reported with Zocor or related drugs are listed below.
