Mode of Action of Cytogard Od 60 MG

How Does It Work?
In the case of Ischaemic, the heart cells receive less oxygen and blood, resulting in the accumulation of toxic substances that damage the cells. This medicine works by supporting the heart cells from the effects of reduced oxygen due to a lack of blood supply. It helps maintain the levels of cellular energy by preventing the decrease in levels of energy stores (ATP) of heart cells and thus helps them work efficiently.
