Get a simvastatin (Zocor) prescription online.

Maple is a virtual care platform that connects you with doctors and other healthcare providers via text, audio, or video. After you log in to your Maple account, you can request an online consultation.

Consultations work similarly to in-person appointments — the doctor can complete an assessment by asking questions about your symptoms, going through your health history, and determining what treatment is right for you. If they think your condition is more serious, they may tell you to go to a clinic for an in-person examination.

As a Maple member, you get 24/7 access to virtual primary care online and more. You can connect with our network of providers via text, audio, or video call within minutes.

Our membership costs $79.99/month and covers virtual care for patients and their families, including the primary account holder's spouse and any dependents.

For patients in eligible provinces, our membership includes:

• Access to daily primary care provider visits: One daily visit with a primary care provider for each family member in their household.
• Paediatric care: Covered paediatric primary care visits, available by appointment.
• Second medical opinions: access to a network of experts for a second opinion if diagnosed with a complex condition (e.g. cancer).
• Personal Health Check-Ins: A series of personalized, evidence-based proactive care screenings to maintain and improve health.
• iCBT courses: Access to iCBT (internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy) self-assessment and courses.
• Access to specialists in eligible provinces: Easy access to specialists on Maple within days, not months. No referral is needed.
• Specialist referrals in eligible provinces: Ability to be referred to a physician specialist for in-person care, if needed.
• Credit discounts: An $80 credit per month to be applied to a Maple specialist visit.

Please note that our membership cannot be combined with other offerings, such as private insurance coverage and provincial programs, where available. In some cases, membership fees can be covered by a Healthcare Spending Account (HSA) — check with your HSA provider for more details.

We accept all major credit cards, including AMEX cards, as well as Google and Apple Pay.

All providers delivering healthcare through Maple are licensed in Canada and governed by their licensing regulatory colleges, and in all instances, must act in accordance with the governing principles set out in the telemedicine policies of each medical regulator in the applicable province.

Regulators across Canada support and recognize the value of services like ours, and the way in which they can benefit patients, physicians, and Canada’s broader healthcare system by improving access to care and increasing efficiencies in the delivery of care.

Simvastatin (Zocor) is a ‘statin’ medication (also known as HMG CoA reductase inhibitors), which helps to reduce ‘bad’ cholesterol (LDL) and fats (triglycerides) in your blood, while increasing levels of ‘good’ cholesterol (HDL).

Zocor prescriptions do this by reducing the amount of cholesterol produced by your liver.

Simvastatin prescriptions are commonly used to lower the risk of heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular complications in people with diabetes, coronary artery disease and other heart conditions.

Zocor is often prescribed alongside a diet plan (low-fat/low-cholesterol), regular exercise and a detailed weight loss plan (in those who are overweight) to improve overall cardiovascular health.

A Zocor prescription will be given in a tablet or liquid form, to be taken orally once a day in the evening.

A typical dosage of simvastatin is 40 mg, though you should always consult with your doctor to decide what dosage will work best for you. Don’t ever exceed the recommended dose prescribed to you.

If you’re taking the liquid form of simvastatin, always be sure to shake the bottle for 20 seconds before pouring the dose, and always use marked measuring devices (not household spoons) to make sure you’re taking the right amount.

If you’re considering requesting a simvastatin prescription online, you should be aware that common side effects include:

• Dizziness
• Fast or irregular heartbeat
• Fainting

Other less common side effects include:

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Headache
• Nasal congestion
• Runny nose

Rarely, statins like Zocor can also worsen symptoms in people with diabetes. Be sure to tell your doctor that you have diabetes if you’re considering a simvastatin prescription.

Before you consider a Zocor prescription, tell your doctor if you’ve ever had:

• Liver disease
• Kidney disease
• A history of excessive alcohol use
• A history of narcotics abuse

You should avoid consuming any alcohol or cannabis while taking simvastatin, because any side effects from the prescription could be intensified. Pregnant women should not take simvastatin, as it has been known to cause damage to the unborn baby.
