Description
Angispan TR 6.5 mg contains Nitroglycerin in the oral form prescribed for treating angina or chest pain in people with certain heart conditions (coronary artery disease). Angina occurs when the heart doesn’t get enough oxygen and is more likely when the heart beats faster (such as during exercise or after eating). Nitroglycerin orally reduces the heart’s need for oxygen by lowering the heart rate, especially when an angina attack is more likely to occur.
Nitroglycerin oral will not relieve chest pain once it occurs. It is also not intended to be taken just before an exercise or sexual activity to prevent chest pain. This medicine may also be prescribed for other conditions not described here.
