Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Zetia is a brand name of Ezetimibe and Zocor is Simvastatin.
Ezetimibe is more suitable for patients with co existing liver dysfunction as prolonged use of Simvastatin may have some impacts on liver. So I suggest you to continue Zetia for your hypercholesterolemia.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
