What is Simlup?
Simlup containing the active ingredient simvastatin is considered a statins or HMG CoA reductase inhibitor type of medication. It works by increasing the levels of high density lipoprotein or HDL (good cholesterol) while also decreasing the amount of low density lipoprotein or LDL (bad cholesterol) in the body. The medication when used in conjunction with a proper diet, exercise program and other lifestyle changes can help decrease the amount of cholesterol that may build up in the arteries blocking blood flow. The drug can reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes and the need for heart bypass surgery in people who are at high risk of developing heart and blood vessel problems.

How is Simlup used?
Simlup is usually taken once per day in the evening unless otherwise directed by a doctor. The tablets can be taken with or without food but should be taken with some water. Contact a doctor for the correct dosage and length of treatment as it will depend on the patient’s condition, response to the medication and age. The recommended maximum dosage is 40mg every 24 hours.
