About Simva 10mg Tablets
Simva 10mg Tablets contain Simvastatin 10mg, a prescription-only HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin) used to lower elevated LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while raising HDL cholesterol. Manufactured by Nabiqasim, Simva reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular events by preventing arterial plaque buildup.
Important safety note: Simvastatin carries a risk of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis, especially when combined with CYP3A4 inhibitors. Grapefruit juice, clarithromycin, itraconazole, and similar agents are contraindicated. Simvastatin is also contraindicated in pregnancy. Always consult your cardiologist or physician before starting or stopping. Send your prescription to sales@derma.pk or WhatsApp +92-320-5999650.
