  • Has your doctor recently prescribed you Simvastatin or Zocor? In this video we are going to help you understand why your doctor likely prescribed this to you and who benefits most from taking it. More importantly we are going to go over the most common side effects that you may notice as well as some of the risks that taking his medication may bring.
    Medication is not the only way that you should treat your cholesterol. Many times through lifestyle changes like diet and exercise you can make a big impact on controlling it. For some simple steps you can start with in your diet watch my video on how to approach weight loss:

    Nice presentation but full of nonsense. I tried Simvastatin. Sure it lowered my cholesterol but I was completely debilitated. Muscle cramping and fatigue like I never experienced before. Cognitive disruption as well. Couldn't even add 2+2. I would never go on statins again. I will keep my high cholesterol, thank-you.

      It's not nonsense. I've been on Simvastatin for over 10 years with zero side effects. ALL drugs can have side effects for different people. Tell your doctor and give him a chance. That's like saying " I tried carrots once and hated them. I'll never eat vegetables again".
