Does Simvastatin Side Effect Cause Increased Bilirubin Or BP Level?

No, they are not known side effects!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
Increase in blood pressure or increases in bilirubin levels are not recognized side effects of simvastatin. The most commonly reported side effects of simvastatin are muscle pains and elevated liver enzymes.
I will like that you talk to your doctor and get your comprehensive liver function panel tests. This would shed more light on what exactly is going on with the liver that may explain these bilirubin levels. Other causes should be investigated for this abnormalities as they are probably not associated with your drug.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
