Preva Tablet

Product introduction
Preva Tablet is a type of antiplatelet medicine, commonly known as a blood thinner. It helps prevent the formation of blood clots in the blood vessels, reducing the risk of serious conditions such as heart attacks and strokes. This medication is widely prescribed for protecting heart health.

Doctors often recommend Preva Tablet to individuals who are at a high risk of developing heart-related problems. These include people with peripheral vascular disease (circulation issues due to narrowed blood vessels), those who have recently experienced a heart attack or stroke, individuals with irregular heartbeat, or those who have undergone certain heart procedures like stent placement. It may also be given along with other medicines to treat unstable angina and certain types of heart attacks.

This medicine can be taken with or without meals but should ideally be taken at the same time every day for best results. It’s important not to stop taking this medication without medical advice, as discontinuing it suddenly can increase the risk of heart attack or stroke.

The most common side effect is bleeding, which may appear as easy bruising, nosebleeds, blood in the urine, black stools, or heavier menstrual flow in women. If you get a cut, the bleeding might take longer than usual to stop. These side effects are generally mild and resolve on their own, but persistent or severe bleeding requires immediate medical attention.

Preva Tablet is not suitable for everyone. People with active bleeding, such as stomach ulcers or brain hemorrhage, should avoid it. Before starting the treatment, inform your doctor if you have any blood clotting disorders, have had a recent injury, or are scheduled for surgery or dental work, as the medication may need to be stopped temporarily.

Uses of Preva Tablet

• Treatment of heart attack
• Unstable angina
• Peripheral vascular disease
• Prevention of heart attack and stroke

Benefits of Preva Tablet for heart attack
Preva Tablet works by stopping platelets from clumping together, which helps prevent the formation of blood clots in arteries and veins. This ensures smoother blood flow throughout the body, reducing the chances of heart attacks, strokes, or other clot-related complications like deep vein thrombosis. For maximum benefit, take the medication regularly and follow lifestyle changes such as healthy eating, exercise, and quitting smoking. It is often prescribed alongside low-dose aspirin to enhance its protective effects.

How to take Preva Tablet
Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not crush or chew it. Follow the dosage and schedule provided by your doctor. While it can be taken with or without food, taking it at a consistent time each day is recommended.

How it works
Preva Tablet blocks the activity of platelets, preventing them from sticking together. This helps reduce the formation of harmful blood clots, lowering the risk of heart attack and stroke.
