Survive Plus Tablet 10/10

About Survive Plus Tablet 10/10

Survive Plus Uses

• Lowers high LDL (bad) cholesterol in adults with hyperlipidemia
• Used alongside diet changes for mixed dyslipidemia
• Prescribed for patients with heart disease needing tighter cholesterol control
• Supports cardiovascular risk reduction in diabetic patients with high cholesterol

Survive Plus Benefits

• Combines two cholesterol lowering mechanisms in a single tablet
• Reduces the need for higher statin doses and their side effects
• Helps slow plaque buildup in blood vessels over time

Cardiologists in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and Rawalpindi often prescribe Survive Plus for patients whose cholesterol stays high on a statin alone.

Simvastatin lowers cholesterol production in the liver. Ezetimibe blocks cholesterol absorption in the gut. Together they cut LDL cholesterol more than either drug alone.

Survive Plus is usually taken once daily in the evening, with or without food as advised. Routine blood tests check liver function and cholesterol levels during treatment. Anyone with active liver disease should avoid this tablet.
