Zocor (Simvastatin)

Common use

Zocor is a cholesterol-lowering medication which used to treat high cholesterol levels in the blood. It works by blocking the production of cholesterol in the body, thus can help prevent conditions that can lead to heart attack, heart disease and hardening of the arteries, stroke, and vascular disease. This medication can also reduce these risks in people with diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, and a history of stroke. Use this medication during a low fat diet to get the best result.

Dosage and direction

Take this medication orally with or without food/milk. The recommended starting dose of Zocor for adults is 20 to 40 milligrams once a day in the evening. The dosage can be varied every 4 weeks. The recommended starting dose for children 10 to 17 years old is 10 milligrams once a day in the evening. The dosage can be varied every 4 weeks, but should not exceed 40 mg a day. Girls must have been menstruating for at least 12 months before starting therapy with Zocor. Children under 10 years old only after doctor permission. Note: this instruction presented here just for review. It's very necessary to consult with your doctor before using. It helps you to get the best results.

Contraindications

Zocor is not allowed in patients with active liver disease or unexplained persistent elevations of serum transaminases or who are hypersensitivity to any component of this medication. Pregnancy and lactation. Atherosclerosis is a chronic process and the discontinuation of lipid-lowering medications during pregnancy should have little impact on the outcome of long-term therapy of primary hypercholesterolemia. The ability of inhibitors of HMG-CoA reductase such as Zocor can decrease the synthesis of cholesterol and possibly other products of the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway, so Zocor is contraindicated during pregnancy and in nursing mothers. Zocor should be administered to women of childbearing age only when such women are highly unlikely to become pregnant. If the patient conceives while taking this drug, Zocor should be discontinued immediately and the patient should be apprised of the potential hazard to the fetus.
