Renal dosing, restrictions and evidence limits
For severe renal impairment defined here as CrCl 15-29 mL/min, start simvastatin 5 mg once daily. The source notes that ZOCOR 5 mg is no longer marketed and directs use of another simvastatin product for that dose. It supplies no specific reduction for mild/moderate impairment in this section and no regimen below 15 or on dialysis. Renal dosing does not remove the statin interaction and myopathy precautions.
