Persantine 25 mg Uses
Persantin 25 mg tablets are used in the treatment of Thromboembolism.
It occurs when a blood clot (Thrombus) forms in a blood vessel that ruptures, travels through the bloodstream and blocks another blood vessel.
Thromboembolism is a potentially fatal condition that can affect multiple organs, resulting in organ damage and even death.
It is also prescribed for the treatment of Stroke caused by a blood clot in the brain.
How does Dipyridamole work
Dipyridamole inhibit blood clotting by making blood platelets less sticky.
Platelets stick together and block blood vessel cuts and breaks.
On the other hand, Platelets can stick together inside already narrowed blood vessels to form a clot in people at risk of heart attack or Stroke.
The clot can cut off blood flow to the heart or brain, resulting in a heart attack or Stroke.
Dipyridamole (Persantin 25 mg) prevents platelets from clumping together and forming unwanted blood clots if taken daily. This helps in preventing heart attacks and strokes.
Persantine 25 mg tablet comes with highly positive reviews and is a recommended medication for Thromboembolism.
