Simvastatin belongs to a family of drugs called HMG CoA reductase inhibitors or ‘statins. Simvastatin lowers levels of low-density lipoprotein or LDL (considered as the bad cholesterol) and triglycerides in the blood, while increasing levels of high-density lipoprotein or HDL (considered as the good cholesterol). High levels of LDL can result in stroke, heart attack, and other heart complications in people with diabetes, coronary heart disease, or other risk factors.

Stop taking this medication and notify your doctor immediately if you become pregnant while taking it. Before taking Simvastatin, let your doctor know if you have a history of liver or kidney disease, diabetes, a thyroid disorder, or if you consume more than 2 drinks of alcohol daily. It has been noticed that myopathy was higher in patients of Chinese descent (0.43%) compared with patients not of Chinese descent. In rare cases, Simvastatin can lead to a condition which results in the breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue, causing kidney failure. Seek medical attention right away if you have unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness especially if you also have a fever, unusual fatigue, and dark colored urine.   

For best results from Simvastatin, you must avoid a high-fat diet (especially, saturated fat). If you do not avoid a high-fat diet, this medicine will not be as effective as it should be. Also avoid or limit the consumption of alcohol. Alcohol can raise triglyceride levels and may increase your risk of liver damage.

Simvastatin is only a part of a full line of treatment for high cholesterol which also includes diet restrictions, exercises, and other medicines. Follow a proper regimen of these things as directed by your doctor to keep your cholesterol levels in check.

You may need to temporarily suspend taking Simvastatin if you have uncontrolled seizures, an electrolyte imbalance, severely low blood pressure, a severe infection or illness, dehydration, or surgery or a medical emergency. Always store this medicine in a cool and dry place.
