Thanks for your question Marilyn.  I suspect the results vary from person to person and you shoudl check with your physician to get a professional medical opinion.

In the meantime, you can read about Zocor:

Simvastatin is an enzyme blocker (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor), also known as a "statin". It is used along with a proper diet to help lower cholesterol and fats (triglycerides) in the blood. In general, this drug is prescribed after non-drug treatment options have not been fully successful at lowering cholesterol (e.g., diet change, increase in exercise, weight loss if overweight). Reducing cholesterol and triglycerides help prevent strokes and heart attacks.

As well, you might be intersted in our material regarding a Low Cholesterol Diet.

Thanks again and all the best, sue
