This prevents people with high cholesterol from developing serious health conditions including heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular problems. To get the most out of Zocor it is advisable to start eating a healthier diet and partaking in more exercise.

Zocor as with most statins is able to limit the amount of LDL cholesterol produced in the body and get rid of it rather than it getting into the blood stream. When cholesterol builds up in the blood stream in high levels there is nowhere for it to go so it begins to stick to the artery walls. In turn this can cause limitations to the blood flow so that necessary vital nutrients cannot get to the vital organs as fast. It can also cause blood clotting and puts extra pressure on the heart. As well as inhibiting the production of bad cholesterol Zocor can also reduce the amount that is already present in the blood lowering high cholesterol efficiently.
Zocor is prescribed in four different doses; the lowest is usually prescribed first and if necessary upped to a higher dose later. Before you take Zocor high cholesterol treatment you should first read the enclosed instructions. Guidelines as to how your medication should be taken are as follows:
You should continue to take Zocor even when your cholesterol levels have lowered as this will keep them from rising again.
