ANGISPAN-TR 2.5 TABS 25'S

About

Angispan-TR 2.5 mg tablets contain Glyceryl Trinitrate (Nitroglycerin) in a sustained-release formulation. This medication belongs to the class of nitrates and works primarily by causing vasodilation, particularly of the venous system. This leads to a reduction in venous return to the heart (preload), which in turn decreases the heart's workload and myocardial oxygen demand. It also dilates coronary arteries, improving blood flow to the heart muscle.

The sustained-release formulation ensures a prolonged therapeutic effect, making it suitable for the prophylaxis and long-term management of angina pectoris. By reducing the frequency and severity of anginal attacks, Angispan-TR helps improve the quality of life for patients suffering from chronic stable angina. It is crucial to follow dosing instructions carefully to maximize benefits and minimize side effects, especially the common headache associated with nitrate use.
