Fatlady,
Thanks for your question.
Zocor is a medication used to lower the level of fats in the blood. Specifically, it lowers the total and "bad cholesterol (LDL), and raise the "good cholesterol" (HDL). Zocor is not a timed-released formulation and can be broken or crushed. Placing it applesauce or another soft vehicle will not alter its effectiveness.
Best wishes.
