Therapy with lipid-altering agents should be only one component of multiple risk factor intervention in individuals at significantly increased risk for atherosclerotic vascular disease due to hypercholesterolemia. Drug therapy is indicated as an adjunct to diet when the response to a diet restricted in saturated fat and cholesterol and other nonpharmacologic measures alone has been inadequate. In patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) or at high risk of CHD, simvastatin tablets can be started simultaneously with diet. In patients at high risk of coronary events because of existing coronary heart disease, diabetes, peripheral vessel disease, history of stroke or other cerebrovascular disease, simvastatin tablets are indicated to: - Reduce the risk of total mortality by reducing CHD deaths. - Reduce the risk of non-fatal myocardial infarction and stroke. - Reduce the need for coronary and non-coronary revascularization procedures.

INDICATIONS AND USAGE
Simvastatin tablets are an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin)
indicated as an adjunctive therapy to diet
to:
Reduce the risk of total mortality by reducing CHD deaths and reduce
the risk of non-fatal myocardial
infarction, stroke, and the need for revascularization procedures in
patients at high risk of coronary
events. ( 1.1)
Reduce elevated total-C, LDL-C, Apo B, TG and increase HDL-C in
patients with primary hyperlipidemia
(heterozygous familial and nonfamilial) and mixed dyslipidemia. ( 1.2)
Reduce elevated TG in patients with hypertriglyceridemia and reduce TG
and VLDL-C in patients with
primary dysbeta-lipoproteinemia. ( 1.2)
Reduce total-C and LDL-C in adult patients with homozygous familial
hypercholesterolemia. ( 1.2 )
Reduce elevated total-C, LDL-C, and Apo B in boys and postmenarchal
girls, 10 to 17 years of age with
heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia after failing an adequate
trial of diet therapy. ( 1.2, 1.3)
Limitations of Use
Simvastatin tablets have not been studied in Fredrickson Types I and V
dyslipidemias. ( 1.4)
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Dose range is 5 to 40 mg/day. ( 2.1)
Recommended usual starting dose is 10 or 20 mg once a day in the
evening. ( 2.1)
Recommended starting dose for patients at high risk of CHD is 40
mg/day. ( 2.1)
Due to the increased risk of myopathy, including rhabdomyolysis, use
of the 80-mg dose of simvastatin
tablets should be restricted to patients who have been taking
simvastatin 80 mg chronically (e.g., for
12 months or more) without evidence of muscle toxicity. (
