GTN Sorbitrate CR 2.6 Tablet

Product Description:
GTN Sorbitrate CR 2.6 Tablet belongs to the class of medications known as nitrates and is primarily prescribed for the prevention and treatment of angina, a type of chest pain that occurs when the heart muscle does not receive enough oxygen-rich blood. The medicine works by relaxing and dilating blood vessels, allowing better blood flow to the heart, thus helping to reduce chest pain and improve physical activity tolerance.

How to Use:
Take GTN Sorbitrate CR 2.6 Tablet strictly as directed by your healthcare provider. It can be taken with or without food, ideally at the same time each day. Do not exceed the recommended dosage. Long-term use may lead to tolerance, reducing the drug’s effectiveness, so it is crucial to follow the prescribed timing and dosing instructions carefully.

Benefits:
GTN Sorbitrate CR 2.6 helps reduce the frequency and severity of angina attacks, enabling better blood circulation to the heart and reducing the heart’s workload. This allows patients to be more active with less discomfort and reduces the risk of future cardiac events.

Common Side Effects:
Some individuals may experience headaches (often severe initially), dizziness, lightheadedness, visual disturbances, a drop in blood pressure, increased heart rate, or a tingling sensation. These effects are generally temporary, but you should consult a doctor if they persist or worsen.

Precautions:
Avoid alcohol while using this medication, as it may intensify side effects like dizziness and low blood pressure. GTN Sorbitrate CR should not be used in combination with medications for erectile dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension, or in individuals with certain conditions such as anemia or glaucoma. Inform your doctor about any existing medical conditions or medications you are taking. Driving or operating machinery should be avoided if you feel dizzy or drowsy after taking the tablet. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use.
