Many people wonder, What is Simvastatin used for?. Simvastatin is used for treating high cholesterol and high triglycerides, as well as preventing cardiovascular disease. Simvastatin has also been shown to lower the risk of a heart attack or stroke in some people.
Lovastatin (Merck's Mevacor) is a statin drug, used for lowering cholesterol (hypolipidemic agent) in those with hypercholesterolemia to reduce risk of cardiovascular disease.s with all statin drugs, it can rarely cause myopathy, hepatotoxicity (liver damage), dermatomyositis or rhabdomyolysis. This can be life-threatening if not recognised and treated in time, so any unexplained muscle pain or weakness whilst on lovastatin should be promptly mentioned to the prescribing doctor.
