This pill is a different shape than what I'v received in the past. Is it an acceptable generic?? PS I spelled Simvastatin incorrectly!

Hello,

Just to confirm, I located the pill in description to be Simvastatin (20 mg).

It is used to control hypercholesterolemia (elevated cholesterol levels) and to prevent cardiovascular disease.
