and we were not there to promote this wonderful drug, but you
would be pleasantly surprised to know ZOCOR is the highest

strong faith in ZOCOR and we would request you to show the
faith in this product based on decades of efficacy, experience &
evidence.

has been in market over 100 years and is still going strong, so is
the case with ZOCOR with over 2 decades of experience.

thought that your patient is in safe hands.
