Overview

Zocor 40mg Tablet contains Simvastatin 40mg and is available as a tablet. It is classified as a prescription medicine and may only be obtained with a valid prescription from a registered medical practitioner.

Only product, safety and handling information is published here. Anything beyond that is explained to you directly by your doctor or pharmacist as part of your consultation.

Directions for Use

Take Zocor 40mg Tablet once daily in the evening, as cholesterol production is highest overnight, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with water, and continue taking it even if you feel well, since cholesterol control is usually silent and long-term.

Dosage

The usual dose of Zocor 40mg Tablet is 5-40mg once daily in the evening, adjusted by your doctor based on your cholesterol response and risk level, with regular liver function and cholesterol monitoring as needed. Your doctor will determine the right dose for your condition.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
