View company portfolio →What FATRID (Simvastatin) is used for
Simvastatin is a cholesterol-lowering medicine from the statin group (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors). It slows down the body's own production of cholesterol. This lowers 'bad' (LDL) cholesterol and other blood fats called triglycerides, and can raise 'good' (HDL) cholesterol. Lower cholesterol helps cut the risk of angina, heart attack and stroke. It is a prescription medicine that comes as tablets or a liquid, and it works best alongside a healthy, low-fat diet and exercise. Most people take it long-term.
- High cholesterol or high levels of other blood fats, when diet alone is not enough
- Inherited (familial) high cholesterol
- Lowering the risk of heart attack and stroke in people who have heart disease or who are at high risk of it
- It may also be prescribed for some people with diabetes or kidney disease, to protect the heart and blood vessels
- Sometimes children aged 10 and over, under specialist advice
Get medical help straight away if
- Call an ambulance or go to the emergency department for signs of a severe allergic reaction: swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat, or trouble breathing or swallowing.
- Stop taking it and contact a doctor straight away for muscle pain, tenderness, weakness or cramps that you cannot explain, especially if you also have a fever or feel very tired, or your urine is dark or red. Rarely, statins can break down muscle and damage the kidneys.
- Contact a doctor straight away if you are passing much less urine than usual.
- Contact a doctor straight away for yellow skin or eyes, dark urine, pale stools, pain in the upper right side of the tummy, or loss of appetite. These can be signs of liver inflammation.
