Nitroglycerin 2.6mg controlled release tablets
Nitroglycerin 2.6mg Tablet CR is used to treat and prevent heart-related chest pain (angina). Angina occurs when the heart muscle is not getting enough blood. This medicine works by relaxing and widening blood vessels so blood can flow more easily to the heart.
Angina is chest pain or discomfort that happens when the heart doesn’t get enough oxygen-rich blood, often triggered by physical activity or stress.
Nitroglycerin 2.6mg Tablet CR helps relieve the pain and reduces the chances of future episodes, making it easier to move around and stay active without discomfort. It improves overall heart comfort and allows individuals to carry out daily tasks with greater ease and confidence.
A nitroglycerin controlled-release (CR) tablet is a long-acting oral medication used to prevent chronic chest pain (angina) caused by coronary artery disease. Unlike fast-acting nitroglycerin tablets, which are taken under the tongue to stop an attack that has already started, controlled-release versions are used on a regular schedule to reduce the frequency and severity of angina attacks.
• Widens coronary arteries: It increases the blood and oxygen supply to the heart muscle, which helps relieve angina.
• Reduces heart’s workload: By widening other blood vessels in the body, it decreases the heart’s workload, further reducing the heart’s need for oxygen.
• Sustained release: The controlled-release formulation allows the medication to be absorbed slowly and steadily over several hours. This provides a consistent therapeutic effect throughout the day and helps prevent angina attacks from happening.
Uses:
- Prevention of angina pectoris: For patients with stable angina, it is taken on a regular schedule to manage the condition long-term.
• Pre-activity prophylaxis: While not as rapid as sublingual tablets, it can help prevent angina triggered by predictable events like exercise or stress when taken as prescribed.
