Uses of AztoGold 20 Capsule
What is it prescribed for?
Prevention of heart attack and stroke
A heart attack occurs when the blood vessels of your heart get blocked due to clot formation or fat/cholesterol buildup. A blockage in your blood vessels can potentially cause an interruption in blood flow to your brain, resulting in a stroke. AztoGold 20 Capsule is used to lower cholesterol and fat levels while also reducing clot formation, thus it lowers the risk of a heart attack or stroke.
