Angised Tablet Uses
About Angised Tablet
Angised tablet contains Glyceryl Trinitrate (Nitroglycerin), a fast-acting nitrate medicine. It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels which allows more oxygen-rich blood to reach the heart muscle. This helps reduce chest pain (angina) and decreases the workload on the heart.
Angised Tablet Uses
Angised tablet uses include:
- Rapid relief of angina pectoris (chest pain) due to reduced blood flow to the heart
- Prevention of angina attacks before physical exertion or stress
- Reducing the workload on the heart by improving blood and oxygen supply to the heart muscle
- Controlling high blood pressure during cardiac procedures or surgery
