What is simvastatin?

  • Simvastatin is an HMG CoA reductase inhibitor. Simvastatin blocks the production of cholesterol (a type of fat) in the body.
  • Simvastatin is used to reduce the total amounts of cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol, triglycerides (another type of fat), and apolipoprotein B (a protein needed to make cholesterol) in your blood. Simvastatin (Zocor) is also used to increase the level of HDL (good) cholesterol in your blood. These actions may reduce the risk of hardening of the arteries, which can lead to heart attacks, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease.
  • Simvastatin may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
What should I discuss with my doctor before taking simvastatin?
  • Do not take simvastatin without first talking to your doctor if you have liver disease.

    • have a blood disorder.
  • You may not be able to take simvastatin, or you may require a dosage adjustment or special monitoring during treatment if you have any of the conditions listed above.

  • Your doctor may want to monitor your liver function with blood tests before starting treatment with simvastatin and every six months after both the start of your treatment and any increase in dose. Depending on the results of these tests, your doctor can determine how much monitoring you will require.
  • Grapefruit and grapefruit juice may interact with simvastatin. The interaction could lead to potentially dangerous effects. Discuss the use of grapefruit and grapefruit juice with your doctor. Do not increase or decrease the amount of grapefruit products in your diet without first talking to your doctor.

Testimonials

Regarding the effect: I do notice an increase in bloodflow and a better stamina using the pills (I use 50mg). A side-effect I have noticed is that my nose clogs up so I seem like I have a cold for an hour or so after taking one pill. No other side-effects than that.

Indian Pharma: Spectre of price control - Kewal Handa,Managing Director, Pfizer Ltd
There is a big difference between healthcare and drug costs. Access is a function of both, affordability and reach of healthcare services that include medicines. Oft heard statements about people needing to dispose life savings to pay for medication, is off the mark

How do drug companies sell their brands at high, uncompetitive prices?
Unlike other items the decision to buy medicines is not taken by the purchaser but by the doctor. As the saying goes, competition does not operate when “one who decides does not pay, and the one who pays does not decide” to which a wag has thoughtfully added “and the one who decides is often paid.” Since doctors are the “ones who decide”, drug companies spend huge sums of money to induce them to patronise their highly profitable products.

The erectile dysfunction drug Viagra may have found a new, potentially life-saving use in hospital pediatric intensive care units, researchers report.
Australian researchers gave the drug to 15 babies with congenital heart disease who were being weaned from inhaled nitric-oxide therapy, a treatment that ICUs use to help these infants survive.
