Simlo 5 MG Tablet 10 contains simvastatin (5 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Inhibits HMG-CoA Reductase: Simvastatin blocks an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase, which plays a key role in producing cholesterol in your liver, thereby reducing the amount of cholesterol your body makes.

• Lowers LDL Cholesterol: It specifically decreases the levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or "bad" cholesterol in your bloodstream, helping prevent its buildup in artery walls.

• Reduces Triglycerides: The medicine helps lower triglycerides, another type of fat in the blood that, when present in high amounts, can contribute to heart disease.

• Increases HDL Cholesterol: Simvastatin can raise high-density lipoprotein (HDL) or "good" cholesterol levels, which helps remove excess cholesterol from your bloodstream.

• Keep the medicine in its original packaging in a tight, light-resistant container.

• Protect from direct sunlight, moisture, and heat.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Check the expiry date before use and discard any unused medicine after this date.

• Cholesterol-lowering diet: Include more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and foods high in omega-3 fatty acids (like oily fish) in your daily meals to help manage high cholesterol alongside your medicine.

• Regular exercise: Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity most days of the week, as regular exercise helps raise HDL (good cholesterol) and lower LDL (bad cholesterol) levels.
