Zocor belongs to a group of drugs called HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, otherwise known as statins. It works by reducing the amount of cholesterol made by the liver. 

Lowering LDL cholesterol and raising "good" cholesterol can help decrease the risk of complications from heart disease, such as strokes and heart attacks. For Zocor to be most effective, it should be used in combination with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
