Since I'm on an anti-cholesterol medication, I was originally on lovastatin (known by its brand name Mevacor). However, lovastatin would occasionally cause abdominal pains from affecting the liver, so as soon as simvastatin (known by its brand name Zocor) became available as a generic drug, I was switched to the newer drug--no more abdominal pains.

I tried one anti-cholesterol medicine years ago, Zocor, if I recall correctly, which seemed to cause muscle pain.

Then went on Lipitor for years until an insurance change pushed me to Crestor.
