Scientific Evidence:

Simvastatin is a statin medication that works by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme involved in cholesterol synthesis. By reducing cholesterol production, Simvastatin helps lower LDL cholesterol levels and decrease the risk of cardiovascular events.

Several clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of Simvastatin in reducing cardiovascular events and mortality in patients with hypercholesterolemia. The landmark study known as the Scandinavian Simvastatin Survival Study (4S) showed a significant reduction in the risk of coronary events and mortality with Simvastatin treatment.
