In my previous message I was wondering why the same medication has to have so many different names. I haven´t had a reply to that, but I found some information on Wikipedia that migth be helpful when looking for more information. Zocor (=Simvastatin) can have many different names as you can see below. "Brand names: Zocor, Zocor Heart Pro, marketed by the pharmaceutical company Merck & Co. and Denan (Germany), Liponorm, Sinvacor, Sivastin (Italy), Lipovas (Japan), Lodales (France), Zocord (Austria and Sweden), Zimstat, Simvahexal (Australia), Lipex (Australia and New Zealand), Simvastatin-Teva, Simvacor, Simvaxon, Simovil (Israel), Simvotin (India) and other."
