Uses of Ceruvin 150 MG Tablet

What is it prescribed for?

Prevention of heart attack and stroke

Ceruvin 150 MG Tablet acts as a blood thinner. It prevents blood clot formation and allows blood to circulate freely throughout your body, preventing a heart attack or stroke (decreased blood flow to your brain).

Peripheral arterial disease

Peripheral artery disease is a condition in which the arterial blood vessels that carry blood to limbs, heart and other organs, are blocked. This mainly occurs due to ageing, smoking, other underlying conditions such as diabetes, etc., resulting in severe leg pain, especially while walking. Ceruvin 150 MG Tablet is used in the treatment of peripheral artery disease and thereby reduces the risk for occurrence of atherosclerosis (formation of clots inside the blood vessels).
