1 WHAT SIMVASTATIN 80MG IS AND WHAT IT IS
USED FOR
Simvastatin is a medicine used to lower
levels of total cholesterol, “bad” cholesterol
(LDL cholesterol), and fatty substances called
triglycerides in the blood. In addition, Simvastatin
raises levels of “good” cholesterol (HDL cholesterol).
You should stay on a cholesterol-lowering diet
while taking this medicine. Simvastatin is a
member of the class of drugs called statins.
Cholesterol is one of several fatty substances
found in the bloodstream. Your total cholesterol is
made up mainly of LDL and HDL cholesterol.
LDL cholesterol is often called “bad” cholesterol
because it can build up in the walls of your arteries
forming plaque. Eventually this plaque build-
up can lead to a narrowing of the arteries. This
narrowing can slow or block blood flow to vital
organs such as the heart and brain. This blocking
of blood flow can result in a heart attack or stroke.
HDL cholesterol is often called “good” cholesterol
because it helps keep the bad cholesterol from
building up in the arteries and protects against
heart disease.
Triglycerides are another form of fat in your blood
that may increase your risk for heart disease.
