Zocor and Impotence [posted 8/11/98] Question: Can Zocor cause impotence as a side effect?
I have had two patients who complain of this. However, it is hard to know if it is the medication or hardening of the arteries (the reason you take the drug in the first place). If you stop the drug it would clearly be gone by 1-2 weeks. If you see no difference, it is not the drug. In general, I do not see this problem with the drug. Zocor Side Effects [posted 7/31/98] Question: I would like to know if stomach problems can occur while taking zocor. I have been taking zocor fro 3 months. The last couple of weeks I have been have gastro problems. When I eat a meal, I immediately start to burp and feel terrible. Sometimes it starts at breakfast and sometimes it doesn’t bother me at all. I also take vitamins and I have stopped most of my vitamins to see if it is the zocor that is doing it. I also take 10 grams of prinivil a day.
