Why Canadians love Maple
All the walk-in clinics are booked in my city for days. Can’t even get a phone consultation. Signed up and communicated with a doctor almost immediately. Within an hour I had a prescription waiting at my local pharmacy. Great service.
This app was very quick and helpful to me in getting the prescription that I needed… Doctors are professional and helpful, no wait time and sent prescription right to my pharmacy!
Signed up at 12:08 pm. Needed to get a prescription for an ongoing medical situation and my family doc was booked up. Had my prescription faxed to the pharmacy by 12:43 pm… Incredible.
What an amazing experience! It took me 30 mins to get everything sorted and get my prescription sent to the pharmacy! Amazing!!
For a simple prescription refill, this app was fantastic. Fast, efficient, and the Dr. was incredibly helpful. I’d pick this method vs going in person any day.

About simvastatin (Zocor)
Simvastatin (Zocor) is a ‘statin’ medication — also known as an HMG CoA reductase inhibitor — which helps to reduce ‘bad’ cholesterol (LDL) and fats (triglycerides) in your blood, while increasing levels of ‘good’ cholesterol (HDL). It works by reducing the amount of cholesterol produced by your liver.
Simvastatin (Zocor) is commonly used to lower the risk of heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular complications in people with certain risk factors. It is often prescribed alongside a diet plan, regular exercise and a weight loss plan to improve overall cardiovascular health.
Yes, you can get a prescription for simvastatin (Zocor) online in Canada. Maple offers a convenient and trusted platform where you can connect with a Canadian-licensed healthcare provider within minutes. Following a consultation, the provider can give you a prescription for simvastatin (Zocor) at their discretion.
Simvastatin (Zocor) is usually taken as a tablet once a day in the evening. While dosages vary, a common starting dose is 10 mg or 20 mg. Your healthcare provider will determine the right dose for you based on your health needs and it’s important to always follow their instructions.
Common side effects of simvastatin (Zocor) can include headache, constipation, stomach pain and nausea. More serious side effects are rare but can include unexplained muscle pain or weakness, or signs of liver problems like yellowing skin or eyes. If you experience any severe or concerning side effects, you should seek medical attention.
You should not take simvastatin (Zocor) if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or have active liver disease. It’s also important to tell your provider about any other health conditions you have, such as kidney disease. You should avoid drinking grapefruit juice and limit alcohol consumption while taking this medication, as they can increase the risk of side effects.
It typically takes about four weeks of consistent use, alongside diet and lifestyle changes, to see a significant improvement in your cholesterol levels. Your healthcare provider will likely order blood tests to monitor your progress and the medication’s effectiveness.
Maple 101
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.
