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).
Simvastatin was developed by Merck and came into medical use in 1992. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the most important medications needed in a basic health system. It is available as a generic medication. The wholesale cost in the developing world is 0.01 to 0.12 USD per day as of 2014. In the United States it costs between 0.50 and 1.00 USD per day. Simvastatin is made from the fungus Aspergillus terreus.
