my little experience to the Zocor patients. I am 40 yrs, was asked to take 10mg zocor daily, but I take occationally 10mg every 3 days, which keeps my col level under control, with fairly controlled diet, lots of fiber and excercise twice a week. Avoide taking the medication daily to avoid side effects. I was following this method for the past 1 year, no problems, no side effects my liver in perfect condition and the cholostrol under control.Its better compromise on the diet than all that risks with your health. Keep monthly/weekly tests to monitor the levels and adjust your dosage accordinly. I am not a medical expert, this is what I do with my own monitoring mechanism, consult your doctor before trying any experiments. May Allah bless you'll for better health.
