What is Zocor?
Zocor is a pharmaceutical drug manufactured by Merck that works to lower cholesterol levels by blocking the production of cholesterol in the body. It has been linked to a medical condition known as rhabdomyolysis, which affects the muscles. Vytorin 10/80, a combination drug that contains Zocor, and the generic Simvastatin (80mg) have also been linked to rhabdomyolysis.
What is rhabdomyolysis?
Rhabdomyolysis is a potentially life-threatening form of muscle damage. Individuals who suffer from rhabdomyolysis experience the rapid destruction of skeletal muscle, which results in the release of muscle fiber contents into the bloodstream. In serious cases, it can lead to kidney damage, kidney failure, and even death. Symptoms of rhabdomyolysis include muscle aches, muscle weakness, and darkening of urine.
