Hello
Phenetermine is used in weight reduction .
Simvastatin is lipid lowering agent .
It is mainly used in Hyperlipidaemias & for cardiovascular risk reduction.
Although simvastatine interact with so many drugs and antibiotics but there is no scientific proof that it helps in weight gain . You can use both these drugs concurrently without any fear.
Good luck.
