hi Art

Yes Simvastin is the generic for Zocor. And over here in the UK Atorvastatin is the name for Lipitor.

Like you I have been on statins for over 25 years but I am well over 70 and am pleased to say that I am fit and well. Just got back after a 2 1/2 hour walk in the countryside on a beautiful English Autumn day.

My father died at 47 and they never knew about statins then eitherr.

In today's Daily Express the front page claims that statins have reduced heart attacks and strokes in the UK by 30%.

Fried statins......pass the gravy...lol

cheers
