About Simva 20mg Tablets
Simva 20mg Tablets contain Simvastatin 20mg, a prescription-only statin (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor) that lowers elevated LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while increasing HDL cholesterol. Manufactured by Nabiqasim, Simva 20mg is prescribed to reduce cardiovascular risk in patients with hypercholesterolemia or hypertriglyceridemia.
Important safety warnings: Simvastatin can cause myopathy and rhabdomyolysis. CYP3A4 inhibitors such as grapefruit juice, clarithromycin, and itraconazole are contraindicated — they significantly raise Simvastatin plasma levels. Simvastatin is also contraindicated in pregnancy and active liver disease. Report any unexplained muscle pain to your doctor immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
