Lipex 20mgLipex (Simvastatin Tablets)  (also known as Zocor 20mg) is used to lower high levels of cholesterol and other fats (triglycerides) in the blood and reduce risk of heart disease that can be caused by high cholesterol. Lipex (Simvastatin Tablets) lowers levels of “bad” cholesterol (LDL) that can cause arteries to become hardened and blocked, and also increases levels of “good” cholesterol (HDL) that helps unblock hardened arteries. Lipex (Simvastatin Tablets) is used to treat patients at risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) or patients with high cholesterol (hypercholesterolaemia) which may be due to lifestyle (high-fat diet and lack of exercise) or can be inherited.

Lipex (Simvastatin Tablets) work
Lipex (Simvastatin Tablets) contains simvastatin which belongs to a group of cholesterol-lowing medications called statins. Simvastatin reduces the production of cholesterol by the liver by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an important enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis. Lipex (Simvastatin Tablets)only blocks cholesterol that is produced in the liver and has no effect on cholesterol that comes from fat in food, which is why a low-fat diet is important even when you are taking Lipex (Simvastatin Tablets).
