About Simvor
Simvor is a prescription simvastatin tablet from Ranbaxy (Malaysia). Doctors prescribe it alongside diet and exercise to lower LDL cholesterol in people with high cholesterol or a raised risk of heart disease.
Yes. Simvor is a generic version of simvastatin, registered with NPRA. Before a generic is registered, NPRA checks that it contains the same active ingredient at the same strength as the original brand and behaves the same way in the body.
Price and ordering
At Hello Doktor, Simvor 10mg is RM36 and Simvor 20mg is RM39 for 100 tablets. Simvor 40mg is RM28 for 30 tablets. Delivery is RM10, or free if you self-collect.
Simvor 40mg is packed as 30 tablets, about one month at one tablet a day. The 10mg and 20mg boxes hold 100 tablets. Check the tablet count when you compare prices.
No. Simvor is a Group B prescription medicine, so our pharmacist needs a valid prescription before sending it. If you don't have one, you can see a licensed doctor by video for RM1.
Taking Simvor
Take it once a day in the evening, with or without food. Keeping to the same time each night makes it easier to remember.
The tablet looks different and the box holds 100 tablets (10mg, 20mg) or 30 (40mg), so you will reorder on a different schedule and pay less per month. Agree the change with your doctor or pharmacist first, and never take both brands together.
Your doctor looks at your LDL result, heart risk and other medicines. Order the strength written on your prescription and keep to it until your doctor changes it.
Safety
Many people have none. The more common ones are mild: stomach upset, constipation, headache and muscle aches. See a doctor the same day for unexplained muscle pain or weakness, especially with fever or dark urine.
Simvor is not for people with active liver disease, or during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Some antibiotics, antifungals and HIV medicines cannot be taken with it, so share your full medicine list with your doctor.
Checked against the Simvor package insert registered with NPRA and Malaysian dyslipidaemia guidelines. Reviewed at least every six months.
For general information. Simvor is a prescription medicine; follow the advice of your own doctor or pharmacist.
