Ascard 75mg Tablets - Heart Health Support, 30 Tablets
Ascard 75mg Tablets are an effective solution for managing cardiovascular health. These tablets contain Acetylsalicylic Acid (ASA), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly known as aspirin. Ascard helps to reduce the formation of blood clots, improving blood circulation and reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. This medicine works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase, which is responsible for producing thromboxane, a substance that promotes clotting. Taking Ascard can help reduce the risk of heart disease, prevent blood clots, and manage other cardiovascular conditions.
Each tablet contains 75mg of Acetylsalicylic Acid, the effective ingredient responsible for its blood-thinning action. It is often prescribed for patients at risk of heart conditions, those with a history of strokes, or after certain types of heart surgery.
How to Use Ascard 75mg Tablets
For general cardiovascular health, it is recommended to take one tablet daily or as directed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. It is advisable to take the tablet after a meal to reduce gastrointestinal discomfort. Never exceed the prescribed dose.

- Not recommended for individuals with a known allergy to aspirin or other NSAIDs.
