Prevention of heart attack and stroke
Clopitab-A 75 Capsule acts as a blood thinner. It prevents blood clot formation and allows blood to circulate freely throughout your body, preventing a heart attack (a serious condition in which the blood supply to the heart is blocked due to the formation of plaques in blood vessels that supply blood to the heart) and stroke (a condition where the blood supply to part of your brain is interrupted or reduced).
