🧾 What is it used for?
Platost Capsule by Austro Lab is a herbal and nutritional supplement primarily used to:
Increase platelet count naturally, especially during or after viral infections like dengue, chikungunya, or malaria
Boost immunity and improve body resistance against infections
Enhance blood health and aid recovery from fatigue or weakness caused by low platelets
Support liver and digestive health (in some formulations)
It usually contains natural extracts like Carica Papaya Leaf Extract, Tinospora cordifolia (Giloy), and other immune-boosting herbs and micronutrients.
⚠️ Common Side Effects
Platost Capsules are generally well-tolerated because of their herbal origin. However, in some individuals, it may cause:
Mild stomach upset
Bloating or gas
Nausea or acidity
Bitter taste or burping
Headache (rare)

Overdose: High doses may lead to digestive discomfort or liver stress
Interaction risk: Though natural, it may interfere with certain medications like anticoagulants (blood thinners)
Not a substitute for platelet transfusion in critical cases—supportive only
