Simvastatin Tablets	20mg	2*14Tablets/box

• Simvastatin Tablets are a medication used in the management of high cholesterol levels, specifically to reduce elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood. As a statin medication, simvastatin works by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which plays a key role in cholesterol synthesis in the liver.

Indications:
 

 

Simvastatin Tablets are indicated for the treatment of:

• Hypercholesterolemia: Simvastatin is used to lower elevated levels of LDL cholesterol in individuals with primary hypercholesterolemia or mixed dyslipidemia.
• Prevention of cardiovascular events: Simvastatin is also prescribed for the prevention of cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke, and coronary artery disease in individuals with multiple risk factors, including high cholesterol levels.

Administration:
 

Simvastatin Tablets are taken orally, usually once daily in the evening, with or without food. The dosage of simvastatin depends on the individual's lipid profile, cardiovascular risk factors, and response to treatment. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage regimen and make necessary lifestyle modifications (such as dietary changes and exercise) to achieve optimal lipid control.

Safety and Considerations:

While generally well-tolerated, Simvastatin Tablets may cause side effects such as:

• Gastrointestinal disturbances: Common adverse reactions include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, which are usually mild and transient.
• Muscle-related adverse effects: Rarely, simvastatin may cause myopathy or rhabdomyolysis, characterized by muscle pain, weakness, or dark urine, particularly at higher doses or in combination with certain medications.
• Liver function abnormalities: Monitoring of liver function tests is recommended during simvastatin therapy, as it may rarely cause elevations in liver enzymes or hepatotoxicity.
