Ingredients
- Aspirin (75mg): Works as an antiplatelet agent to prevent blood clots from forming in the arteries, reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

How It Works
Ascard 75mg works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), which reduces the production of thromboxane, a chemical responsible for blood clot formation. By doing so, aspirin prevents platelets from sticking together and forming clots in blood vessels, reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
