Benefits of Hefcard Tablet
In Treatment of Heart failure
Heart failure means your heart is weak and cannot pump enough blood to your lungs and the rest of your body.

This makes it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body and is, therefore, an effective treatment for heart failure.
This medicine will help relieve your symptoms, making you feel better and more energetic. To help this medicine be effective, you should make appropriate lifestyle changes (such as eating healthily and staying active). Take it regularly and keep taking it even if you feel better.
