Preva Tablet 1*15

Preva Tablet is an antiplatelet medicine, commonly known as a blood thinner, that helps prevent the formation of harmful blood clots in the blood vessels. By improving blood flow and reducing the risk of blockage, it helps protect against heart attacks and strokes. It is widely prescribed for long-term cardiovascular protection, especially in patients with a history or risk of heart disease.

Uses of Preva Tablet

• Management of heart attack
• Treatment of unstable angina (heart-related chest pain)
• Peripheral vascular disease (narrowed blood vessels in the limbs)
• Prevention of heart attack and stroke in high-risk individuals

How Preva Tablet Works

Preva Tablet acts by preventing platelets from clumping together. Platelets are blood cells responsible for clot formation, and their excessive activity can cause blockages in blood vessels. By reducing this platelet activity, the medicine ensures smooth blood flow throughout the body, thereby lowering the risk of heart attack, stroke, or blood clot formation in veins and arteries.

Benefits of Preva Tablet

• Helps prevent heart attacks and strokes in people at risk
• Keeps blood vessels open and free from clots
• Improves overall heart and circulatory health
• Often used alongside low-dose aspirin for enhanced protection
• Reduces the likelihood of future cardiac events when taken regularly

It may be taken with or without food, but preferably at the same time every day. Continue taking it even if you feel well, as stopping suddenly may increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke.
