How Polycap Capsule works
Polycap Capsule is a combination of five medicines which include three blood pressure lowering medicines (Ramipril, Atenolol and Hydrochlorothiazide), a lipid lowering medicine (Simvastatin) and an anti-platelet medicine (Aspirin). Together, they lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels, optimize cholesterol levels by decreasing “bad” cholesterol (LDL), and prevent the formation of harmful blood clots (platelet aggregation). This reduces the risk of heart diseases and stroke.
