Simvistatin is the technical name of the drug that's most commonly known as Zocor, a drug that can help lower cholesterol levels. Technically, it really helps to lower lipid levels, which results in lower cholesterol. A scientific study has shown that Zocor may help prevent heart-related health problems somewhat, but it won't provide complete protection. It's possible that Zocor may help prevent non-fatal incidents, such as stroke and non-fatal heart attacks, a little more than it does for fatal heart attacks. It's unknown if this difference is because of the drug or because the people with more serious heart disease are less likely to be helped by anything.
