simvastatin generic cost

I hear this quite often. Next tie you speak to your doctor ask about Zocor. There is a generic called simvastatin and it is very cheap yet very effective. Also, the additional med that your doctor was talking about is most likely a fenofibrate like Tricor which is commonly added to a statin med. I am on both and they have worked very well for me with no side effects.

I have been taking Lipitor (20mg) and my wife has been taking Simvastatin. Prior to being put on medication, my cholesterol had been running about 205 for a long time and my wife's had been around 160. What is the difference betwen the two? My medication is considerably higher than mine? Can you explain why? My blood sugar was running abot 137 so my Doctor also put me on Actoplus as well. My Lipitor is about $100 and my wife's Simvastatin is about $6 (same quantity of tables-30).

As Lipator is now available as a low cost generic I will ask my cardiologist if I can return to using Lipator. I changed to Simvastatin a few years back to save money.

I am wondering if anyone has taken simvastatin, the generic brand for Zocor. I just started taking this on Friday and twice since then I seem to have had some strange side effects. It has caused an upset stomach and then made me feel very jittery. It was almost as if I had the chills and then both nights had a horrible time sleeping. The only similar item I ate or drank was Diet Cranberry Soda. I am not sure if this would have had an impact. Any insight would be great.

Lipator got me down to about 150 from a history of 240 for my total cholesterol. When I changed to the low cost generic I measured the same or better, I now get a number like 130. I do not have any plans to go to a generic lipator if it becomes available.

My husband was prescribed generic lipitor about a year ago. Prior to this he was advised to use Slo Niacin. When he began the lipitor, his dr. did not tell him to stop taking the Slo Niacin. He has been taking them together daily. Last week he experienced more frequent, loose bowels, but did not feel "sick"..This went away and he started to have muscle pain in the chest and upper back and his legs..that began 3 days ago. The muscle pain is preventing him from getting any sleep.

Experienced the exact same problem after quitting smoking, and now 4 months later, I still have the same low HR (around 50-60), the dizzyness here and there, and the low BP too. I too went for a series of tests and all came back normal except for a large amount of PVC's i experience. I think some of us just experience this when quitting smoking, but other than that all sounds normal!

Typically it's 30% reduction in price when it goes generic initially for paying out of pocket. drugstore.
