How Does It Work?

• Platelets are blood cells that help in clot formation
• When clot formation occurs in artery, blood flow stops which can be dangerous in cases of heart attack
• Aspirin in low doses stops these platelets from forming a clot, so that blood can flow without any obstruction in the arteries
