Yes. Zocor (simvastatin), Lipitor (atorvastatin) and Pravachol (prevastatin) are cholesterol-lowering agents, members of a growing class of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. HMG-CoA reductase is an essential enzyme that helps convert HMG-CoA to mevalonic acid, an early step in the biosynthesis of cholesterol. The enzyme HMG-CoA reductase is functional only in the liver.
