ARVAST 20MG Tablet is a statin medication that lowers “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides while increasing “good” cholesterol (HDL). It’s prescribed to reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and related cardiovascular issues.
Description
ARVAST 20MG Tablet contains Rosuvastatin, a potent HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor. By inhibiting this enzyme, Rosuvastatin reduces cholesterol production in the liver and enhances the clearance of LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream. This dual action helps in:
-
Lowering LDL cholesterol
-
Reducing triglyceride levels
-
Increasing HDL cholesterol
These effects collectively reduce the risk of atherosclerosis, heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular complications.
