Generic Zocor vs Brand Zocor
The No. 1 question many of our customers ask is “what’s the difference between the brand and the generic?” Well truth is there differences are minimal. Both medications contain the medical ingredient Simvastatin. Simvastatin is marketed by Merk as Zocor in the USA only; Zocor is known as Lipex in the rest of the world. Keep in mind that Blue sky drugs is a global pharmacy and your order of Zocor may have an alternate name depending on its country of origin; an alternate name DOES NOT make the medication a generic. Generic Zocor or Simvastatin is manufactured outside of a Merk facility; this is the biggest difference between Zocor and Simvastatin. Generic Simvastatin and Zocor are identical in dose, strength, safety, efficacy, chemical makeup and therapeutic use. At Blue Sky Drugs, we stand behind our products 100% and only provide you with the highest quality products from fully licensed pharmacies. If you have any questions regarding the generic manufacturers for Zocor or have any concerns feel free to contact us, call toll-free: 1-866-995-7387 or by email at: CustomerService@BlueSkyDrugs.com.
How Simvastatin Works
Simvastatin is the active medicinal ingredient found in Zocor; it is primarily used to treat individuals with high cholesterol. It is also used to treat coronary heart disease, arterial diseases and diabetes in people over 40 years of age. It can also be taken to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and death. Simvastatin works by blocking a certain enzyme that creates cholesterol in the body thus decreasing cholesterol levels in the blood. This medication can be taken in combination with other cholesterol medications as directed by your physician. Your doctor may have prescribed this medication for other reasons other than those listed; therefore it is important to take Simvastatin exactly as prescribed.
