Overview

Hovid Lipiduce 10mg Tablet is a prescription-only medicine (POM) presented as a tablet, with Simvastatin 10mg as its active ingredient content.

This page is limited to product, safety and handling information, in line with Malaysian rules on prescription medicine information for the public. Your prescriber or pharmacist is the right source for anything beyond that, together with the leaflet inside the pack.

Through DoctorOnCall, this product is supplied after an online consultation with a licensed doctor and a valid prescription, and it is checked by a registered pharmacist before dispensing. Take it exactly as prescribed, and speak to your doctor before stopping, changing the dose, or starting any other medicine alongside it.

Directions for Use

Take Hovid Lipiduce 10mg Tablet once daily in the evening, as cholesterol production is highest overnight, though your doctor may advise a different time if needed. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water, with or without food, and continue taking it regularly even if you feel well, since high cholesterol usually causes no symptoms.

Dosage

The usual starting dose of Hovid Lipiduce 10mg Tablet is 10-20mg once daily in the evening, which your doctor may adjust up to a maximum of 40mg daily depending on your cholesterol response and cardiovascular risk. Always take the exact dose prescribed by your doctor and attend follow-up cholesterol and liver tests as scheduled.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Grapefruit juice can significantly raise simvastatin blood levels and increase the risk of muscle-related side effects – avoid large quantities
  • Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. clarithromycin, itraconazole, ciclosporin) markedly increase simvastatin levels and the risk of myopathy
  • Gemfibrozil and other fibrates increase the risk of muscle-related side effects when combined with simvastatin
  • Warfarin’s blood-thinning effect may be enhanced, requiring closer INR monitoring

  • Avoid large amounts of grapefruit juice while on this medicine
