Simvastatin
Simvastatin is a type of medication known as a statin. Statins are specifically formulated to lower cholesterol levels in the blood. Simvastatin reduces the production of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), which is a type of cholesterol that is considered “bad” because it increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Statins like Simvastatin can considerably lower your risk of suffering from coronary heart disease, angina and atherosclerosis. Patients have the highest level of success with Simvastatin as a treatment for high cholesterol if lifestyle changes are also adopted.

What are the benefits?
When taken alongside a healthy diet balanced with exercise, Simvastatin tablets can effectively reduce the levels of LDL in the blood, whether the levels of high cholesterol were caused by genetics or lifestyle factors. When the levels of “bad” cholesterol are lowered, the risk of you developing cardiovascular problems such as heart disease, atherosclerosis and angina are significantly reduced.
Evidence also suggests that Simvastatin tablets are able to reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes in patients who have diabetes or coronary heart disease.
How does Simvastatin work?
This medication lowers cholesterol by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA, which is present in the liver and is responsible for controlling the rate at which cholesterol is produced in the body. When this enzyme is blocked, the liver makes less cholesterol. In addition, Simvastatin improves the liver’s ability to absorb LDL from the blood, which lowers the blood cholesterol levels.
This medication also increases the levels of HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, known as “good” cholesterol. The levels of triglyceride, which is another type of fat, in the body are also lowered.
Who can buy Simvastatin online?
Simvastatin tablets are designed for people who have high cholesterol and are at risk of cardiovascular disease. As it is a prescription medication, it is not suitable for everyone. It is important to fully disclose any medical conditions you have or medications you are taking when you complete your consultation if you choose to buy Simvastatin online from euroClinix.
It may not be suitable if you are a pregnant or breastfeeding, preparing for surgery or are a frequent drinker. You should exercise caution if you have heart disease, problems with your kidneys or liver, diabetes, hypothyroidism or seizures. A history of a stroke or heart attack, or a family history of hypercholesterolemia, may make this medication unsuitable for you.
How to take Simvastatin
Simvastatin is available in a variety of doses: 5mg, 10mg, 20mg, 40mg and 80mg. Most people usually begin this medication on a lower dose, though this will be decided by your doctor and will be based on your medical condition. You should take this medication exactly as it has been prescribed to you as this will ensure your safety and the efficacy of the treatment.
The medication is usually taken once a day in the evening. When you are taking Simvastatin tablets, you will need to undergo regular blood testing to ensure the medication is helping to lower your cholesterol.
What are the side effects?
Though Simvastatin is considered a safe medication, it is a prescription medication so there is an inherent risk of side effects. If they do occur, they will likely be mild and should not last for very long. These could include mild muscle or joint pain, nausea, constipation, headaches, a skin rash, stomach pain or cold symptoms such as a sore throat or a stuffy nose.
More serious side effects are very rare and will require urgent medical attention if they occur. They can include more serious muscle pain, weakness or tenderness; pain or a burning sensation while urinating; an allergic reaction characterised by hives, swelling of the throat, lips, tongue or face; difficulty breathing; jaundice; yellowing of the whites of the eyes and severe abdominal pain.
