 Zocor
40 mg
ZOCOR helps save lives among people who suffer from high cholesterol and heart disease. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for people in the United States. One type of heart disease is called coronary heart disease (CHD), which is caused by atherosclerosis. CHD results in narrowing of coronary arteries (through which oxygen-rich blood and nutrients are supplied to the heart). In time, the inadequate supply of oxygen-rich blood and nutrients damages the heart muscle and can lead to chest pain and heart attack-and possibly to death.
Over a period of time, ZOCOR works by reducing the amount of cholesterol in your blood. ZOCOR can dramatically lower low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C, "bad" cholesterol), which carries the largest amount of cholesterol in the blood and is responsible for depositing cholesterol in the artery walls, while increasing high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C, "good" cholesterol) which helps carry LDL cholesterol ("bad" cholesterol) away from the walls of the arteries and returns it to the bloodstream, thus preventing buildup of cholesterol in the artery walls.
ZOCOR along with a healthy diet is proven to significantly reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. In fact, in patients with heart disease or diabetes, ZOCOR, along with a healthy diet, is proven to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke, regardless of cholesterol level.
