What Causes Memory Loss And Confusion After Taking Zocor?

My mother in law has started having really bad memory and confusion problems. I am wondering if the Zocor she is taking could be part of the problem. She has been taking it for some time and also takes letonox (?) I think that is the name of it for cancer. Is it even a possibility this might be part of the problem.

Hi. It is very rare for statins(Zocor) to cause memory problems. If she has been on it for a long time I would look for the culprit some other place. You did not mention her age? And you did not mention where her cancer is?
Good luck
