title: I take Zocor for high cholesterol. My doctor checks my lipid levels every six months and they have been pretty good for a few years now. But he also checks my liver-function tests, because liver damage is one of the side effects of this drug. How worried should I be about this problem, and is checking my liver tests every six months often enough?
