Simvastatin
statin · lipid-lowering
Our referenceWhat this medicine is for
Pharmacologically, Simvastatin relates to the category “statin (lipid-lowering)”. Statins curb, in the liver, a key enzyme of cholesterol production, which lowers the LDL cholesterol measured on the blood test. It is a maintenance treatment that you feel nothing of day to day, and whose benefit is counted in years.
For Simvastatin, in practice: Reduces the cholesterol level in the blood. It is most often a long-term treatment, taken at set times over long periods; its benefit is judged over time, not by how you feel on a given day.
