Warfin (5Mg) 100 Tablets

Description

Warfin 5mg Tablets contain Warfarin Sodium and are made by Shaigan Pharmaceuticals. Warfarin reduces the liver’s use of vitamin K to make clotting factors, so the blood takes longer to clot. This lowers the risk of harmful clots in the legs, lungs, heart and brain. You can order it online from Divine Medicines with home delivery across Lahore.
