SIMVOFIX 10mg x 30

Uses of SIMVOFIX 10mg

SIMVOFIX 10mg is primarily used to:

Lower LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol): High levels of LDL cholesterol are associated with an increased risk of heart disease and stroke. SIMVOFIX helps lower these levels, reducing the risk.
Increase HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol): This medication can also raise the levels of HDL cholesterol, which helps protect against heart disease.
Reduce triglycerides: SIMVOFIX works to lower the levels of triglycerides, another type of fat in the blood that can contribute to heart problems.
Prevent cardiovascular disease: It is used in patients who are at risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular events due to high cholesterol or a history of heart problems.

SIMVOFIX Ingredients

The active ingredient in SIMVOFIX is simvastatin, a statin drug that helps reduce cholesterol production in the liver. The medication also contains the following inactive ingredients, which aid in tablet formulation: Lactose monohydrate, Magnesium stearate, Microcrystalline cellulose and Pregelatinized starch.

These inactive ingredients help with the stability, absorption, and overall effectiveness of the medication.

SIMVOFIX Mode of Action

SIMVOFIX 10mg works by inhibiting an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase which is responsible for producing cholesterol in the liver. By blocking the action of this enzyme, simvastatin reduces the overall cholesterol levels in the bloodstream, particularly LDL cholesterol (low-density lipoproteins). This leads to a decrease in plaque buildup in the arteries, which helps prevent the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular conditions.

Additionally, simvastatin increases HDL cholesterol (high-density lipoproteins) and lowers triglycerides, further supporting heart health. The combination of these effects makes SIMVOFIX an essential medication for individuals dealing with high cholesterol and at risk of cardiovascular issues.

SIMVOFIX Dosage

The standard recommended dosage of SIMVOFIX is 10mg once daily preferably taken in the evening.
