You can take simvastatin for high triglycerides, but you need to analyze each case and follow your doctor’s instructions. Triglycerides, also called triacylglycerols, are esters formed from glycerol and three fatty acids, also known as neutral fats. Because serum triacylglycerol is affected by lifestyle, diet and age, it varies greatly within and between individuals, and is generally elevated when the reference value is >2.30mmol/L. Whether or not simvastatin can be taken for high triglycerides needs to be discussed according to the specific magnitude of elevation, etiology, and individual patient’s condition. Increased triglycerides can be seen in coronary heart disease, primary hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, obesity, diabetes mellitus, gout, hypothyroidism, nephrotic syndrome, high-fat diets and cholestatic jaundice. In general, simvastatin is suitable for patients with hypercholesterolemia and coronary heart disease. However, simvastatin should not be taken by people who are allergic to the drug components, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and people with active hepatitis or unexplained persistent elevation of serum aminotransferases. Simvastatin may be associated with adverse reactions such as abdominal pain, constipation, flatulence, itching, anemia, and rhabdomyolysis. Observation and monitoring are needed when taking the drug. In summary, high triglycerides can take simvastatin, need to assess the patient’s specific situation, in line with the indications, and no contraindications can be taken, please follow the doctor’s instructions for the correct scientific medication.
