Results: Thirty patients with abnormal lipid profile were included in the study (age 30-60 years). Patients were orally administered with international product of Simvastatin (20mg/day) for 8 weeks. The total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase was estimated in the serum of primary dyslipidemic patients before and after treatment with international product of Simvastatin (20mg/day). After the treatment serum total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase were increased. Conclusion: On the basis of this study it is concluded that Simvastatin increases the level of total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, ALT, AST and alkaline phosphatase.
