Arvast 40 Tablet 10 contains rosuvastatin (40 mg) which has a specific mode of action:

• HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibition: Rosuvastatin acts by competitively suppressing an enzyme named HMG-CoA reductase in your body. This enzyme plays a crucial part in creating cholesterol.

• Decreases Cholesterol Levels: By inhibiting the HMG-CoA reductase enzyme and increasing the number of LDL receptors on liver cell membranes, rosuvastatin effectively reduces cholesterol levels in the blood and enhances the breakdown of LDL cholesterol.
