High cholesterol can be caused by family history. Cholesterol is essential in the bloodstream at lower levels. It transports fats throughout your body and promotes healthy tissue growth. This is also known as "good" cholesterol, or high-density lipoprotein. This amount is naturally produced in the liver.

Simvastatin reduces the activity of the enzyme in the liver that makes cholesterol. This reduces cholesterol levels, which can lower your risk of angina, stroke, heart attack, and stroke.
