Lowplat Plus (75/150mg) 10 Tablets – Dual Antiplatelet Therapy for Heart & Stroke Prevention

Description:

Lowplat Plus (75/150mg) is a combination medication used to prevent blood clots in patients at risk of heart attack, stroke, or peripheral artery disease. It contains Clopidogrel (75mg) and Aspirin (150mg) — two powerful antiplatelet agents that work together to prevent platelets from sticking together, ensuring smoother blood flow through the arteries.

This dual therapy helps reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular events, especially after procedures like angioplasty, stent placement, or bypass surgery.
