How does Simvastatin 40mg work
Simvotin 40mg contains Simvastin as the main ingredient.
Simvastatin belongs to the family of medications known as HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (Statins).
It inhibits the HMG-CoA-reductase enzyme required by the body to produce Cholesterol.
As a result, it reduces "bad" Cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides while increasing "good" Cholesterol (HDL).
The accumulation of Cholesterol and fats along the arterial walls (Atherosclerosis) reduces blood and oxygen supply to the body's heart, brain, and other organs.
Simvastatin prevents heart disease, Atherosclerosis, Angina (chest pain), strokes, and heart attacks by lowering blood Cholesterol and fats.
Simvotin has received highly positive feedback and is a recommended medication for heart conditions.
