Bad cholesterol or LDL cholesterol is the result of the build-up in the walls of your arteries leading to plaque formation. The accumulation of plaque leads to narrowing of the arteries, blocks blood flow which blocks blood flow to heart and brain. Insufficient blood flow can result in a heart attack or stroke. The medicine raises good cholesterol or HDL which prevents bad cholesterol from building up in the arteries and protect against heart problems. Your doctor may ask you to follow a cholesterol-lowering diet while receiving Simvastatin. It works best when used in conjunction with a low-calorie diet. Most patients do not show immediate symptoms of high cholesterol. Therefore, it is important to visit your doctor for a regular check-up to keep track of your blood cholesterol.
