Simvastatin as an effective cholesterol-lowering medication is widely prescribed to treat cardiovascular diseases. Despite definite safety and efficacy, myopathy and liver dysfunction are the common adverse effects of simvastatin. Little information is available regarding the symptom starting and recovery period for a patient undergoing the side effect.
