About Exafib 15 Tablet
Exafib 15 Tablet is mainly used to prevent and treat blood clots in the legs (called deep vein thrombosis or DVT) and in the lungs (called pulmonary embolism or PE). Deep vein thrombosis is a medical condition in which blood clots form in deep veins, usually in the legs. Pulmonary embolism is a condition in which a blood clot blocks the arteries in the lungs.
