How it works
Simvastatin belongs to the class of lipid-lowering drugs (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors/Statins). It blocks the enzyme (HMG-CoA-reductase) that is required to make cholesterol in the body. As a result, it lowers triglycerides, "bad" cholesterol (LDL) in the bod
Aspirin / Acetylsalicylic acid decreases inflamation, prevents blood clots, reduces pain & fever with anti-platelet action. It is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that improves the condition by preventing platelets from sticking together. This in turn decreases the
Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic drug. It helps lower blood pressure and swelling by eliminiating the excessive electrolytes and water from the body. It also helps in relaxing the blood vessles, thus improving the blood flow.
Atenolol is a beta blocker that acts on the heart. It slows down the heart rate to make the heart pump the blood more efficiently around the body and works to make the condition better.
Ramipril belongs to the category of an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. It slows down the heart rate and makes the heart to work more efficiently pump the blood around the body & the condition better.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What should I know about high cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a type of fat present in your blood. Your total cholesterol is made up of LDL and HDL cholesterol. LDL cholesterol is called “bad†cholesterol as it can build up in the wall of your blood vessels and slow or obstruct blood flow to your heart, brain, and other organs. This can cause heart diseases and stroke. HDL cholesterol is called “good†cholesterol as it prevents the bad cholesterol from building up in the blood vessels. Triglycerides also are harmful fats found in your blood.
