Simvastatin is a medication used to treat high cholesterol. It’s part of a group of medications known as statins, and it’s named after the active ingredient it uses - simvastatin. Statins are medications that lower the levels of LDL cholesterol in your blood and contribute towards the prevention of cholesterol-related comorbidities.
LDL cholesterol is commonly referred to as the “bad” cholesterol, but it’s actually not all bad. We need cholesterol to build healthy cells, so our aim is never to eliminate it completely. The problems arise when the cholesterol levels are too high and the substance starts to cling together in your blood vessels which can lead to hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and other issues. By lowering your LDL levels, Simvastatin will help prevent most issues caused by high cholesterol.
Simvastatin’s main actions happen in the liver. The active substance in the medication can slow down the production of LDL cholesterol, which in turn decreases the LDL cholesterol levels in your blood. Simvastatin also increases your levels of HDL, known as the ‘good cholesterol’, which will also contribute towards lower levels of LDL long-term.
This medication is used to control LDL levels, but its main objective is to prevent coronary heart disease and lower your chances of mortality due to heart conditions.
Simvastatin comes in 10mg, 20mg, 40mg, and 80mg tablets, and which one you take will depend on how high your cholesterol levels are. No matter which dose you’re prescribed, they all need to be taken once a day in the evening.
If you don’t know which dosage is best for you, our clinicians can assess your health background and cholesterol levels to advise you on what you should be taking.
