In simvastatin formulations, fillers are typically inactive ingredients that help stabilize the medication, aid in the manufacturing process, and improve its appearance. Common fillers used in simvastatin tablets may include lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, and magnesium stearate.

Always check specific product information for precise filler details, as they may vary by manufacturer.
