Rpigat 2.5 mg Tablet 10's

RPIGAT 2.5 TABLETS belongs to a class of drugs known as anticoagulants or blood thinner. RPIGAT 2.5 TABLETS is primarily used to prevent and treat deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in leg veins) and pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lung) by reducing blood clot formation.
