I have been taking Zocor since 8/20/09.
I have had 2 episodes since beginning Zocor of a mucus discharge when I pass gas. Both resolved within a day. I am up to date on doctor visits, colonoscopies and liver tests.
Could this be a side effect of Zocor or should I push harder for other possibilities?
