Benefits of Warf Tablet
In Prevention of Blood clots
Warf 3 Tablet blocks a substance in the body which is involved in blood clotting. Although it does not “dissolve” blood clots, it can prevent them from getting bigger so your body can dissolve them over time. It will also prevent new ones from forming. It keeps your blood flowing freely around your body and makes it less likely that a clot will form inside a blood vessel. This can help prevent or reduce damage caused by stroke, clots in your lungs (pulmonary embolism) or other blood vessels (thrombosis). It can also make it less likely that parts of a clot will break off and travel to other parts of the body. You should take Warf 3 Tablet regularly and make appropriate lifestyle changes to help this medicine be effective.
