There may be a few things to worry about being prescribed such a high dose of simvastatin.

1. Your cholesterol must be off the charts to require such a high dose of simvastatin putting you at risk of Heart disease. With lifestyle modifications and drug therapy, you can reduce your risk of heart attack or stroke.

2. All drugs have side effects. Simvastatin may cause a condition know as rhabdomyolisis (muscle rupture). It may also have negative effects upon the liver.
