Benefits of Uniwarfin Tablet
In Deep vein thrombosis
Deep vein thrombosis is a condition where blood clots form in deep veins, usually in the legs. These clots can cause pain, swelling, and in severe cases, travel to the lungs. Uniwarfin 5mg Tablet helps prevent new clots from forming and existing ones from growing, reducing discomfort and the risk of dangerous complications.
In Pulmonary embolism
Pulmonary embolism occurs when a blood clot blocks a blood vessel in the lungs, which can be life-threatening if not treated. Uniwarfin 5mg Tablet works by thinning the blood, helping to dissolve the clot, and preventing new ones from forming. This improves breathing and lowers the risk of future clots.
In Stroke prevention
Some strokes are caused by blood clots that block blood flow to the brain. Uniwarfin 5mg Tablet helps prevent these types of strokes by reducing the blood’s ability to form harmful clots. This lowers the risk of brain damage and supports long-term health.
In Blood clots
Blood clots can form in various parts of the body and lead to serious conditions if they travel to vital organs. Uniwarfin 5mg Tablet reduces the chance of clot formation, helping keep blood flow smooth and lowering the risk of complications like heart attacks or strokes.
