Simvastatin
Simvastatin (Brand name: Zocor) is used with diet changes (restriction of cholesterol and fat intake) to reduce the amount of cholesterol and certain fatty substances in your blood.
It’s important to remember that
Simvastatin is a supplement, not a substitute for
diet and exercise. To get the full benefit of the medication, you need to stick to the diet and exercise program prescribed by your doctor. All these efforts to keep your cholesterol levels normal are important because they may
also lower your risk of heart disease.
How does Simvastatin work?
Over a period of time, Simvastatin works by reducing the amount of cholesterol in your blood.
It can dramatically lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol while increasing HDL ("good") cholesterol. When part of a healthy lifestyle,
Simvastatin begins to work quickly — you can begin to see results in as little as 2 weeks. As long as you take
Simvastatin every day, you could see the full effects on cholesterol within 4 to 6 weeks.
Simvastatin works silently to reduce cholesterol. If you don’t feel stronger or healthier after taking
Simvastatin on a daily basis, that does not mean that it isn’t helping to lower your cholesterol. Remember,
Simvastatin can work for you only if you take it every day as recommended by your doctor. Visit your doctor regularly to check your cholesterol-lowering progress.
Who should not take Simvastatin?
Simvastatin is a prescription medicine and isn’t right for everyone, including women who are nursing or pregnant or who may become pregnant, anyone with liver problems, and people who are allergic to any ingredients of
Simvastatin.
