About CERUVIN AF 75+150MG CAPSULE

Signs of a heart attack include chest pain, upper body pain, sweating, nausea, fatigue and trouble breathing.
CERUVIN AF 75+150MG CAPSULE is composed of two medicines, namely: Aspirin and Clopidogrel. These are blood thinners (anti-platelet) that prevent the formation of a clot in the blood vessels. Aspirin acts as a blood-thinning or anti-platelet agent in a low dose (about 75 mg) to prevent heart attack and stroke.
