Zocor is the branded version of a medication called simvastatin. It belongs to a group of medications known as statins. Statins help to lower the levels of “bad” cholesterol i.e. low-density lipoprotein (LDL-cholesterol), and fatty substances called triglycerides in the blood. It also helps to raise “good” cholesterol i.e. high-density lipoprotein (HDL-cholesterol) levels.
When cholesterol levels are too high this can lead to problems like hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and more. These conditions can increase the risk of strokes and heart attacks. By stabilising cholesterol levels, this reduces these risk factors.
LDL cholesterol is considered bad because it can build up in the walls of your arteries as plaque. Plaque build-up narrows your arteries which can block blood flow to vital organs such as the heart and brain. This can result in a heart attack or stroke. HDL cholesterol is considered good because it helps keep LDL cholesterol from building up in your arteries and this protects against heart disease.
Whilst taking Zocor, you should also be on a cholesterol-lowering diet to manage your high cholesterol and prevent the risk of heart complications.
Simvastatin is the main active ingredient in Zocor, which works by stopping your liver from making cholesterol. It does this by blocking an enzyme in your liver called HMG-CoA reductase which is involved in the synthesis of cholesterol. By stopping this enzyme it reduces how much cholesterol the liver makes and therefore decreases LDL cholesterol, also known as, “bad” cholesterol.
Simvastatin also increases the level of HDL cholesterol, which helps remove excess cholesterol from the blood and carries it to the liver where it’s then excreted from the body.
Overall, Zocor will help regulate your cholesterol levels and lower your risk of heart disease.
Zocor is available in 10mg, 20mg, 40 mg and 80 mg tablets, the same as the generic version. Depending on how high your cholesterol levels are, a clinician will be able to assess which one you should take. Your body makes most of its cholesterol at night so it's better to take Zocor once a day in the evening.

If you’ve forgotten to take Zocor, don’t take a double dose to make up for the forgotten one. Just skip the missed tablet and wait to take your next dose at the scheduled time. If you’ve taken more than you should, you should contact your clinician so they can monitor your symptoms.
