Simvastatin

What are the benefits of using it?

Simvastatin is able to help control levels of bad cholesterol in your body in order to prevent it from causing damage to your health. Using a treatment like Simvastatin to lower high levels of LDL (‘bad cholesterol’) can reduce your risk of developing coronary heart disease, angina, atherosclerosis and stroke.

Exercise and a healthy diet can stimulate the production of good cholesterol, so using this treatment with a healthy lifestyle could provide comprehensive health benefits to those who are at risk of serious illness because of high cholesterol.

How does it work?

This treatment can lower high blood pressure, because it works in the liver to control the production of LDL. If the liver is producing less cholesterol than it usually would, it causes an imbalance in LDL content in the liver and blood. This causes the liver to take LDL form the bloodstream to restore the balance, eventually leading to a lower level of cholesterol moving towards cells with the potential to cause blockages.

Who can use it?

Simvastatin is recommended for those with high cholesterol, high triglycerides and as a preventative treatment for cardiovascular disease. You should only buy it online if your doctor has already recommended it as the best treatment for your condition. Simvastatin is not safe to use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or if you are allergic to this medication. People with diabetes, an underactive thyroid, kidney disease or muscle disorders may require an adjusted dose of Simvastatin or additional tests to ensure that it is safe to use.

How do you use it?

Simvastatin should be taken exactly as prescribed by a doctor. Normally Simvastatin is recommended in a single daily dose, to be taken with a full glass of water. It’s best to take the dose at night, as this is when most of the body’s cholesterol is produced. To ensure that you get the most benefit from your treatment, this medication should be taken alongside a healthy, balanced diet and a reasonable amount of exercise.

What are the side effects?

Simvastatin can cause side effects, but they won’t affect everyone. The most commonly reported side effects include diarrhoea, constipation, nausea, stomach pain, flatulence, bloating, stomach upsets or heartburn. Contact a medical professional straight away if you experience any muscle pain or weakness, fever or flu-like symptoms.
