Cartinex Tablet ER

Product introduction
Cartinex Tablet ER is prescribed for managing angina, a condition that causes chest discomfort due to reduced blood flow to the heart. It helps to prevent angina episodes but is not meant to stop an ongoing attack. By improving the efficiency of the heart, it eases chest pain and reduces strain on the heart muscles.

Take Cartinex Tablet ER exactly as directed by your doctor, preferably at the same time each day. It can be taken with or without food, but doing so with food may help prevent stomach upset. The dosage and duration will be decided by your doctor based on your condition and response to the medicine. To gain the full benefit, continue taking it regularly, even if you feel well. Stopping the medicine suddenly may cause your chest pain to return or worsen.

Making healthy lifestyle choices can improve heart health and enhance treatment effectiveness. These include quitting smoking, limiting alcohol intake, eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and managing stress. Some people may experience side effects like nausea, headache, dizziness, or constipation. If these symptoms persist or become bothersome, seek medical advice.

Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor if you have any liver or kidney problems or if you are taking other medications, as some drugs may interact with Cartinex Tablet ER. It is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless specifically advised by your doctor.
