  1. My HMO now covers Mevacor (Lovastatin) while I have been
    using the much more expensive Zocor (Simvastatin), which is
    still not covered.

    Is there a substantial difference in efficaciousness between
    Zocor vs Mevacor? I am trying to reduce my high drug costs
    for Zocor.

    Thanks for any imput

    Mevacor is a less potent statin than Zocor. However,
    depending on your lipid goals, it may be adequate. Your
    doctor will be able to tell you more.
