About Hefcard 50 Tablet 14

For best results, it's essential that you take this medicine as directed by your doctor. Before starting this tablet, make sure you inform your doctor of any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications. If you experience any side effects while on this medication, immediately notify your doctor.
