Benefits of Polycap Capsule
Polycap Capsule is a combination medicine that is used to prevent heart attack and stroke. It contains Ramipril, Atenolol and Hydrochlorothiazide, that together relax the blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily and also eliminate the excess salts from the body. This lowers your blood pressure and reduces your risk of having a stroke, a heart attack, or kidney problems in the future. It contains Simvastatin that reduces the amount of “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and raises the amount of “good” cholesterol (HDL) in your blood.
Besides, it also contains a blood thinner, Aspirin, that prevents the formation of blood clots and also prevents the existing ones from growing bigger in size. Take it regularly and make appropriate lifestyle changes (such as eating healthy and staying active) to maximize the effectiveness of this medicine. Keep taking it even if you feel well.
