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).
To restate the abovementioned facts, what simvastatin is used for is to generally lower the lipid contents in the blood. This means that this drug is obviously used for patients with high serum levels of LDLs and VLDLs. This is still indicated even for people without heart disease, as high levels of these lipids can cause other problems other than a heart attack.
