Uses of Tonact-ASP 150 Capsule

What is it prescribed for?
Prevention of heart attack and stroke
A heart attack occurs when the blood vessels of your heart get blocked due to clot formation or cholesterol (fat) buildup. A blockage in your blood vessels can potentially cause an interruption in blood flow to your brain, resulting in a stroke. Tonact-ASP 150 Capsule is used to lower cholesterol levels while also reducing clot formation, thus lowering the risk of a heart attack or stroke.
