Simvazaf Tablets 20mg

Simvazaf Tablets 20mg contains Simvastatin 20mg, a statin that lowers cholesterol. Made by Zafa Pharmaceutical Labortories Ltd, it is prescribed for high cholesterol and prevention of heart attack and stroke. Pack size: 10 tablets.

Uses of Simvazaf Tablets 20mg

Simvazaf Tablets 20mg is used alongside a healthy diet to lower LDL (‘bad’) cholesterol and triglycerides and to raise HDL (‘good’) cholesterol. Doctors prescribe it for people with high cholesterol and for those at higher risk of heart disease, such as people with diabetes or a previous heart attack or stroke. Lowering cholesterol reduces the chance of future heart attacks and strokes.

How Simvazaf Tablets 20mg works

Simvastatin blocks HMG-CoA reductase, the enzyme the liver uses to make cholesterol. As the liver makes less cholesterol, it pulls more LDL cholesterol out of the bloodstream, gradually lowering blood levels and slowing the build-up of fatty plaques in the arteries.
