Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, simvastatin is easy to oxidize, has poor chemical stability, and its content decreases after long-term storage.
When made into tablets, powder or other dosage forms, contact with excipients, such as binders, diluents, etc., may cause simvastatin to become unstable or reduce stability, affecting tablet quality
At present, some manufacturers claim that adding the antioxidant BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole) to the excipients can increase its stability, but the specific formula and stability data have not been disclosed

Abstract

The invention relates to a drug which contains Simvastatin, wherein it comprises active component as Simvastatin and drug findings. Said drug findings comprise acid pH adjuster whose consumption can reduce pH value not higher than 3. 5 as 2. 5-3. 2. The invention, via pH adjuster, oxidization resistance and other findings can effectively restrain the oxidzation of Simvastatin, with high stability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a medicine for regulating blood lipid, in particular to a medicine preparation containing simvastatin. Background technique [0002] Simvastatin is a HMG-CoA (β-hydroxy, β-methyl-glutaryl-CoA) reductase inhibitor, which is the most important class of blood lipid regulating drugs. It reduces the synthesis of endogenous cholesterol by competitively inhibiting the early rate-limiting enzyme (HMG-CoA reductase) in cholesterol synthesis and metabolism. Its main site of action is in the liver, which can reduce blood cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, moderately reduce serum triglyceride levels and increase blood high-density lipoprotein levels. Therefore, it is a lipid-lowering drug with clear mechanism of action and definite curative effect. [0003] Currently on the market are simvastatin tablets and capsules, which are mainly used clinically to prevent and treat hyperlipidemia and coronary heart disease,...
