Description:

Arvast 10 Tablet belongs to a class of medications known as statins and is used to lower cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of heart disease. High cholesterol can lead to the narrowing of blood vessels, increasing the risk of heart attack or stroke.

This medication is widely prescribed and considered safe for long-term use. It can be taken with or without food, at any time of the day, but should be taken consistently at the same time daily. Since high cholesterol does not usually cause symptoms, stopping the medication may result in increased cholesterol levels, worsening the condition, and raising the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Regular cholesterol monitoring is essential while taking Arvast 10 Tablet. It should be combined with a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, quitting smoking, limiting alcohol intake, and maintaining a healthy weight. While taking this medicine, it is advisable to avoid high-fat foods.

Common side effects may include muscle pain, weakness, nausea, headache, and stomach discomfort. These effects are usually mild and temporary, but if they persist or if you experience symptoms such as yellowing of the eyes or unexplained muscle pain, consult your doctor immediately.
