Description
Simvastatin 20mg Film-Coated Tablets by Sandoz, a Novartis company, is a prescription-only medicine belonging to a class of drugs known as statins (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors). It is used to lower high cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke. Each pack contains 28 film-coated tablets for oral use.
Simvastatin works by reducing the amount of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol produced by the liver while helping to raise HDL (“good”) cholesterol and lower triglycerides. It is prescribed for people whose cholesterol levels cannot be controlled through diet and lifestyle changes alone, as well as for those with existing heart disease, diabetes, or other cardiovascular risk factors who require long-term cholesterol management.
