Overview

Hovid Lipiduce 20mg Tablet is a prescription-only medicine (POM) that contains Simvastatin 20mg. It is supplied as a tablet and is dispensed in Malaysia only against a valid prescription issued by a registered doctor.

Under Malaysian rules for prescription medicines, this page carries product, safety and handling information only. Your doctor or pharmacist will explain whether this medicine is suitable for you, the dose you should take, and how long you should take it.

On DoctorOnCall, Hovid Lipiduce 20mg Tablet is reviewed by a licensed doctor through an online consultation and dispensed by a registered pharmacist before delivery. Always follow the instructions on your prescription label and the package insert supplied with the product, and do not share this medicine with anyone else.

Directions for Use

Take Hovid Lipiduce 20mg Tablet once daily in the evening, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with water. Continue taking it even if you feel well, since high cholesterol usually has no symptoms and control needs to be continuous.

Dosage

The usual dose of Hovid Lipiduce 20mg Tablet is taken once daily in the evening, as cholesterol production by the liver is higher overnight, and your doctor will adjust the dose based on your cholesterol response, typically up to a maximum of 80mg daily only in specific circumstances your doctor will advise on.

Storage Instructions

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

Contraindications

  • Concomitant use with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors such as itraconazole, ketoconazole, or certain HIV protease inhibitors
  • Concomitant use with gemfibrozil

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Grapefruit juice can significantly raise simvastatin blood levels and increase the risk of side effects – avoid large quantities
  • Gemfibrozil and other fibrates increase the risk of muscle-related side effects and should generally not be combined
  • Amiodarone, verapamil, or diltiazem increase simvastatin levels, so your doctor may cap your maximum dose if these are prescribed together
  • Warfarin’s blood-thinning effect may be enhanced, requiring closer INR monitoring
