Preventing strokes and heart attacks

As we grow older, our arteries tend to narrow as fatty and fibre-like material build up on the inner walls.If an artery gets sufficiently narrow, a blood clot may form and block the artery. If this occurs in an artery supplying blood to the heart muscle, it will restrict the heart's supply of oxygen, causing angina (a crushing chest pain) or a heart attack.

Cardiprin 100 reduces the stickiness of platelets (the clot forming part of blood), making them less likely to form a clot and helping to prevent blocking of blood vessels.

Each tablet contains 100mg of aspirin, a low dose shown by medical studies to effectively lower the risk of stroke and heart attacks.
