Description
Angised Tablet 0.5mg
Angised 0.5mg tablet contains glyceryl trinitrate (GTN), a nitrate medication commonly used to treat or prevent angina pectoris, a type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. Angised works by relaxing the blood vessels, allowing better oxygen delivery to the heart, which helps alleviate chest pain and prevent angina attacks.
