Simvastatin

Priced Per Pill

Common 30-Day Supply: 60

If you have or are at risk for heart disease, your doctor may prescribe simvastatin, generic Zocor, in combination with a diet, weight-loss, and an exercise program. You may be at risk for heart disease if you have high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) “bad cholesterol” or elevated fatty substances (triglycerides) in your blood. Simvastatin may also be prescribed to children 10-17 years old who have high both cholesterol and triglycerides due to the hereditary condition heterozygous hypercholesterolemia. Heterozygous hypercholesterolemia causes cholesterol due to the body’s inability to remove cholesterol from the blood. Simvastatin belongs to the drug class HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins). Statins work by slowing the body’s production of cholesterol, which can prevent atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis, also called blocked or hardened arteries, develop when fat and cholesterol build up on arterial walls and stop or slow blood flow to the heart and other parts of the body.
