I am presently on 20mg of Zocor once a day and have 2 questions about this medication.
- As your body chemistry changes with age can the beneficial effect of this medication decline?
- I have heard that Zocor can have a negative effect on your liver requiring you to have a liver function test done at least once every 6 months. Is this true?
Thanks for your help and keep up the great work.
