Simvacor is used for people who suffer from high cholesterol resulting from genetic factors or due to unhealthy lifestyle and diet. It is usually recommended as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and a balanced and healthy diet. The drug may be useful in cases of prevention for people who are more susceptible to heart disease, such as those who suffer from diabetes or high blood pressure or have a family history of heart disease.
Simvacor is only prescribed under the supervision of a specialist doctor after evaluating the patient's general health condition and reviewing the other medications he is taking to avoid possible drug interactions.
