G Sim 10mg Tablet is a lipid-lowering medication (statin). It works by blocking an enzyme (HMG-CoA-reductase) that is required in the body to make cholesterol. It thus lowers 'bad' cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides, raising the level of 'good' cholesterol (HDL).

It should be taken in the evening after dinner and before sleeping. It should be taken in addition to regular exercise and low-fat diet to lower levels of fat in the blood. Inform your doctor if you experience fatigue, muscle weakness or muscle pain. Inform your doctor if you notice signs of liver problems such as stomach pains, unusually dark urine or yellowing of skin or eyes.
