Simvastatin does treat cerebral infarction because it can lower LDL cholesterol in the body. Effective control of LDL cholesterol can effectively slow down the onset and development of atherosclerosis. Statins are especially essential for people who have a range of atherosclerotic diseases such as heart attack, brain attack and coronary heart disease. One of the common statins is simvastatin, and whether you take 1 or 2 tablets at night should be taken orally under the guidance of your doctor. The specific oral dose of simvastatin will be determined according to the patient’s blood lipid level, the level of combined atherosclerosis, and the level of combined other risk factors.
