Benefits of Dulovas Tablet

In Treatment of Premature Labor

This prevents premature labor and miscarriage. Take it as prescribed and follow your doctor’s instructions carefully to get maximum benefit.

In Treatment of Peripheral vascular disease

Peripheral vascular disease refers to the condition of disturbed blood circulation in blood vessels. DULOVAS 20MG TABLET helps the blood flow freely around your body thereby preventing a heart attack or stroke (or deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism). Make appropriate lifestyle changes (such as eating healthy and staying active) to maximize the effectiveness of this medicine.

How Dulovas Tablet works
