Home care â which most people prefer â is generally more affordable than nursing home care, but still can be expensive. When averaged nationally, the cost of a six-hour visit by a home health aide is $114. That's $29,640 per year for a home health aide visiting six hours per day, five days a week.
SIMVASTATIN USES. Simvastatin is used to treat a number of problems. It is a member of a class of drugs called hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors, usually known as statins. In general, this drug is used to modify blood fats (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride levels and raising high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels).
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.
