Simvastatin is a drug used to treat high cholesterol and other lipid disorders. It belongs to the class of drugs known as statins, which are used to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Simvastatin works by blocking an enzyme in the liver that is responsible for producing cholesterol. This reduces the amount of cholesterol in the blood, which can help to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. Simvastatin is available in both generic and brand-name forms, and is usually taken once daily. Simvastatin is one of the most widely prescribed drugs for cardiovascular disease, and is used by millions of people around the world. It is generally well-tolerated, with few side effects. However, it can interact with other medications, so it is important to discuss any potential interactions with a doctor before taking it. Some of the companies that produce simvastatin include Pfizer, Merck, AstraZeneca, and Mylan. Show Less Read more
