A member asked:
Mevacor or zocor, (simvastatin) what's better?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Statin: They do the same things. Zocor (simvastatin) is more potent milligram for milligram. One is not 'better' than the other, there are reasons a doc might choose one over the other in a specific situation.
