Arvast-CF 10 Capsule DR

Product Overview
Arvast-CF 10 Capsule DR is a combination medicine used to manage elevated cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, especially when dietary and lifestyle changes alone are not enough. It works by lowering harmful lipids and improving good cholesterol levels, which helps reduce the risk of heart-related problems such as heart attacks and strokes.

How to Take
You can take Arvast-CF 10 Capsule DR with or without food, but it’s best to take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels in your body. The dosage will be determined by your doctor based on your lipid levels and response to treatment. Do not stop taking the medicine without consulting your doctor, as stopping suddenly can cause your cholesterol and triglyceride levels to rise again, increasing the risk of heart disease.

Lifestyle Recommendations
For the best results, this medication should be used alongside a heart-healthy routine that includes a balanced, low-fat diet, regular exercise, quitting smoking, reducing alcohol intake, and maintaining a healthy weight. Regular lipid profile tests are important to track progress and adjust treatment if needed.

Possible Side Effects
Some people may experience mild side effects such as nausea, stomach discomfort, constipation, headache, gas, or muscle pain. These usually improve on their own. However, if you notice yellowing of the skin or eyes, unexplained bruising or bleeding, or severe muscle pain, seek medical advice immediately. Periodic liver function tests may be recommended while taking this medicine.

Precautions
Arvast-CF 10 Capsule DR should not be used in individuals with active liver disease or persistently abnormal liver function tests. If you have kidney issues, your doctor may need to adjust the dose. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid this medicine unless specifically advised by a doctor. People with diabetes should monitor their blood sugar regularly, as this medicine may cause slight increases in blood sugar levels.

Uses
It is prescribed for reducing high cholesterol and triglycerides and for lowering the risk of heart attacks and strokes caused by clogged or narrowed arteries.
