Arvast 10 Tablet

Product Overview
Arvast 10 Tablet is a medication from the statin group, primarily used to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. By reducing these fats, it helps decrease the risk of cardiovascular issues such as heart attacks and strokes. Cholesterol is a type of fat that can accumulate in blood vessels, leading to narrowing and blockages, which may cause serious health problems over time.

This tablet is commonly prescribed and is considered safe for long-term use. It can be taken with or without food, but it’s best to take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels in your body. People with high cholesterol usually don’t experience symptoms, so it’s important not to stop taking the medication abruptly, as this could raise cholesterol levels again and increase the risk of heart-related complications.

Regular monitoring of cholesterol levels is essential while using this medicine. Along with taking Arvast 10, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is crucial. This includes following a balanced diet, exercising regularly, avoiding smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, and managing body weight. While you can eat normally, it’s advisable to limit foods high in saturated fats and cholesterol.

Some common side effects may occur, such as muscle discomfort, weakness, headaches, nausea, and stomach pain. These are generally mild and temporary. If they persist or you notice unusual symptoms like yellowing of the skin or eyes or severe muscle pain, consult your doctor promptly.

This medication is not suitable for people with active liver disease. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid taking it due to potential harm to the baby. Individuals with diabetes should monitor their blood sugar, as Arvast 10 may cause slight increases in glucose levels.
