Simvastatin 80mg Tablets
Simvastatin is a medicine used to lower levels of total cholesterol, “bad” cholesterol (LDL cholesterol), and fatty substances called triglycerides in the blood. In addition, Simvastatin raises levels of “good” cholesterol (HDL cholesterol). You should stay on a cholesterol-lowering diet while taking this medicine. Simvastatin is a member of the class of drugs called statins.
Simvastatin is used along with diet if you have:
In most people, there are no immediate symptoms of high cholesterol. Your doctor can measure your cholesterol with a simple blood test. Visit your doctor regularly, keep track of your cholesterol, and discuss your goals with your doctor.
Contact your doctor immediately if you experience unexplained muscle pain, tenderness or weakness. This is because on rare occasions, muscle problems can be serious, including muscle breakdown resulting in kidney damage; and very rare deaths have occurred.
The risk of muscle breakdown is greater at higher doses of Simvastatin and is greater in certain patients. Tell your doctor if any of the following applies to you:
It is particularly important to tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following drugs. Taking Simvastatin with any of these drugs can increase the risk of muscle problems (some of these have already been listed in the above section “Do not take Simvastatin 80mg:”)
Please note that the following statements may also apply to products you took some time ago or may take at some time in the future.
The risk of muscle problems can be greater if simvastatin is taken with the following medicines: (some of these have already been listed in the above section “Do not take the tablets”)
As well as the medicines listed above, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any medicines, including those obtained without a prescription. In particular, tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following:
Grapefruit juice contains one or more components which may increase the amount of simvastatin in the blood. Therefore, you should not drink grapefruit juice as it could increase the risk of muscle damage.
Do not take simvastatin if you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant or suspect you may be pregnant, as the safety in pregnant women has not been established. If you become pregnant while using simvastatin, you must stop taking the tablets immediately and contact your doctor.
No data on the excretion of simvastatin in breast milk are available. Because many medicinal products are excreted in human milk and because of the potential for serious side effects, you must not breast-feed your infant while taking simvastatin.
Simvastatin is not recommended for use in children.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking any medicine.
Simvastatin has no effect or only a negligible effect on the ability to drive or use machines. However, there have been rare cases of dizziness reported in patients taking simvastatin tablets (see section 4 “Possible side effects”). Do not drive vehicles or operate machines that require attention if you experience this side effect.
Amongst other ingredients, Simvastatin 80mg tablets contain lactose monohydrate. If your doctor has told you that you cannot tolerate certain sugars, contact your doctor before taking this medicine.
Always take your tablets exactly as your doctor has instructed you. You should check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.
Take the tablets either on an empty stomach or after a meal.
Before starting your treatment with Simvastatin 80mg you should be on a diet to lower your cholesterol and should keep on this diet while you are taking Simvastatin 80mg.
The usual dose is 5mg to 80mg simvastatin per day as a single dose in the evening. If needed, your doctor can increase the dose at intervals of at least 4 weeks to a maximum of 80mg per day as a single dose in the evening. The dose of 80mg is only recommended in patients with very high cholesterol levels and high-risk cardiovascular complications.
Your doctor will decide the appropriate dose for you and when you should take your tablets. This will depend on why you need to lower your cholesterol (see also section 1 “What Simvastatin 80mg is and what it is used for”):
If you have moderate kidney problems your dose will not have to be adjusted. If you have severe kidney problems your doctor may prescribe a lower dose, which will not be more than 10mg per day.
If your doctor has prescribed a bile acid sequestrant (another medicine for lowering cholesterol such as colestyramine) along with Simvastatin 80mg, you should take Simvastatin 80mg at least two hours before or four hours after taking the bile acid sequestrant.
Efficacy and safety of use in children have not been established.
No dosage adjustment is necessary.
You will have to take simvastatin over a long period of time. Your doctor will tell you how long you need to take simvastatin.
If you have the impression that the effect of simvastatin is too strong or too weak, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
Although no specific information about simvastatin overdose is available, any medication taken in excess can have serious consequences. If you take too many tablets by mistake, contact a doctor or pharmacist immediately.
If you realise you have forgotten to take a dose soon after its due time, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time to take the next dose, omit the forgotten dose and take the next one when it is due. Ask your doctor or pharmacist in case of doubt.
Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten tablet.
If you suddenly stop taking this medicine, your cholesterol may rise again. It is therefore important that you consult a doctor before stopping treatment. He/she can tell you if you can stop and the best way to do so.
If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Like all medicines, Simvastatin 80mg can cause side effects, although not everybody will have them.
The following term is used to describe how often side effects have been reported:
Rare (occurring in 1 or more of 10,000 and less than 1 of 1000 patients treated)
The following rare serious side effects were reported.
If any of these serious side effects happen, stop taking the medicine and tell your doctor immediately or go to the emergency room at your nearest hospital.
