What are the side effects of taking Zocor at 80 mg?
Individuals who use a high dose of Zocor may experience abdominal cramps, suffer from gastrointestinal issues, and run the risk of acquiring an upper respiratory infection. However, most problematically, users of 80 mg dosages of Zocor experience an increased risk of sustaining muscle injury, including, muscle pain, tenderness, and weakness. Furthermore, the breaking down of muscle tissue can lead to the release of myoglobin in a condition known as rhabdomyolysis. In this condition, the kidneys sustain damage, could eventually fail, and the individual experiencing these side effects may eventually lose his or her life.
