Product Use
Nu-Seals 75mg contains aspirin. Aspirin is used:
to prevent recurrence of heart attacks or strokes by thinning the blood. If
someone who has previously had a heart attack or stroke takes Nu-Seals
75mg regularly, it reduces the risk of a blood clot occurring in the heart or
brain. This can prevent further heart attacks or strokes.
