Linvas Tablet

Product Description
Linvas Tablet contains simvastatin, a medicine that belongs to the class of statins. It is used to lower levels of harmful cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood while increasing the amount of good cholesterol. By reducing excess cholesterol, it helps prevent the build-up of fatty deposits in blood vessels, which lowers the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications.

Benefits
This tablet is useful for people with high cholesterol, mixed dyslipidemia, or those at risk of heart disease due to diabetes, hypertension, or a family history of cardiovascular problems. Regular use helps protect blood vessels, improves circulation, and reduces long-term heart-related risks. It works best when combined with a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet and regular exercise.

Possible Side Effects
Some patients may experience headache, stomach discomfort, constipation, muscle pain, or weakness. Rare but serious side effects include liver problems, severe muscle breakdown, or allergic reactions, which need immediate medical care.

How to Use
The tablet is usually taken once daily in the evening, with or without food, as directed by the doctor. The dosage depends on cholesterol levels, response to treatment, and overall health condition. It should be swallowed whole with water, and regular follow-up tests may be advised to monitor cholesterol and liver function.

What to Avoid
Alcohol intake should be limited as it may increase the risk of liver problems. Grapefruit or grapefruit juice should not be consumed with this medicine, as it can interfere with how the drug works in the body. High-fat meals should be avoided as they may counteract the benefits of cholesterol control.

Precautions
Patients with liver disease, kidney problems, thyroid disorders, or a history of muscle disorders should inform their doctor before starting treatment. The medicine should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Any unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness should be reported immediately. Lifestyle changes such as exercise, weight management, and a heart-healthy diet should be followed for best results.
