Simvastatin
Simvastatin is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels in the blood, which helps reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. It works by inhibiting an enzyme involved in producing cholesterol in the liver, effectively decreasing the amount of bad cholesterol (LDL) and sometimes increasing good cholesterol (HDL). Generally taken once daily, simvastatin should be used alongside a healthy diet and lifestyle. It's important to follow your doctor’s instructions and have regular check-ups to monitor its effects and prevent possible side effects.
