Arvast 15 Tablet is a lipid-lowering medicine that belongs to a group of drugs called statins. It is commonly prescribed to reduce high cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, which are major risk factors for heart attacks and strokes. Cholesterol, a fatty substance, can accumulate in the blood vessels, narrowing them and reducing blood flow to the heart and brain. Arvast 15 helps lower “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and raise “good” cholesterol (HDL), reducing the overall risk of cardiovascular events.
This medicine is considered safe for long-term use and can be taken with or without food, usually once a day at the same time. It’s important to note that most people with high cholesterol do not feel sick, but consistently taking this medication is key to preventing serious complications like heart disease and stroke. Do not stop taking the medicine without medical advice, even if you feel well.

How Arvast 15 Tablet works
Arvast 15 Tablet contains rosuvastatin, a statin that works by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which plays a crucial role in the body’s cholesterol production. By blocking this enzyme, the medicine reduces the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver, leading to lower levels of LDL (“bad cholesterol”) and triglycerides. At the same time, it raises HDL (“good cholesterol”), helping to clear excess cholesterol from the blood vessels. This results in improved blood flow, reduced plaque formation, and a lower risk of cardiovascular diseases.
