Arvast F 5 Tablet

Arvast F 5 Tablet is a medicine that combines two active ingredients used to manage high levels of fats, such as cholesterol and triglycerides, in the blood. It is prescribed when lifestyle changes like following a low-fat diet, regular exercise, and other non-medication measures are not enough to control lipid levels. By lowering these fats, the medicine helps reduce the risk of serious heart problems, including heart attacks and strokes.

You can take Arvast F 5 Tablet with or without food, but it is best to take it at the same time every day to help you remember. Your doctor will decide the correct dose based on your condition, blood test results, and response to the treatment. Most people with high cholesterol or triglycerides don’t feel unwell, so it’s important to keep taking the medicine even if you feel fine, as stopping it could cause your cholesterol levels to rise again and increase the risk of heart disease.

While taking this medicine, it’s essential to have regular blood tests to monitor your cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Arvast F 5 Tablet should be taken as part of an overall health plan that includes a balanced, low-fat diet, regular physical activity, quitting smoking, limiting alcohol, and maintaining a healthy weight. Try to avoid foods high in saturated fat while using this medication.

Some people may experience mild side effects like nausea, stomach discomfort, constipation, headache, gas, or muscle aches. These usually improve on their own, but if they persist or worsen, you should consult your doctor. Seek medical attention immediately if you notice yellowing of the skin or eyes, unexplained bleeding or bruising, or severe muscle pain. Your doctor may also recommend periodic liver function tests while you are on this medication.

Arvast F 5 Tablet should not be used by people with active liver problems or severe liver disease. Inform your doctor before starting the medicine if you have kidney issues, are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Diabetic patients should monitor their blood sugar levels, as this medicine can sometimes cause an increase in blood sugar.

Uses:
This medicine is used to manage high cholesterol and triglycerides and to lower the risk of heart attacks and strokes by preventing the build-up of harmful fats in the blood vessels.

Possible side effects:
Some common side effects include headache, muscle or joint pain, constipation, elevated liver enzymes, increased creatine kinase levels, and, in some cases, an increase in blood sugar levels. Most side effects are temporary and go away with time, but consult a doctor if they become bothersome.

How it works:
Arvast F 5 Tablet contains two medicines: Fenofibrate, which helps reduce triglycerides, and Rosuvastatin, which lowers bad cholesterol (LDL) and raises good cholesterol (HDL). Together, they help maintain healthier blood lipid levels.

Safety considerations:
Avoid alcohol while taking this medicine, as it may increase the risk of liver damage. This medicine is unsafe during pregnancy and should not be used unless prescribed by a doctor. Breastfeeding mothers should also consult a healthcare provider before use. Patients with severe kidney or liver disease should not take this medicine.

Missed dose:
If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it’s nearly time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take two doses at once.
