Sorbitrate 10 Tablet

Product Overview

Sorbitrate 10 Tablet contains a medication used to prevent angina (chest pain related to the heart). It works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, which improves blood flow to the heart, thereby reducing the heart’s workload and oxygen demand. While effective at preventing angina episodes, it is not intended for immediate relief during an ongoing attack. In some cases, it may also help manage heart failure.

This tablet should be taken on an empty stomach, ideally at the same time each day. Follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage and duration carefully. Do not stop the medication abruptly, as this may increase the risk of angina attacks returning. Adopting healthy habits such as regular exercise, a heart-healthy diet, and avoiding smoking may enhance its effectiveness.

Over time, the body may develop tolerance to this medication, making it less effective. It’s important to follow the prescribed schedule closely to minimize this risk.

Uses

• Prevention of chest pain (angina)

• May also support treatment in certain heart conditions (as directed by a doctor)

Sorbitrate 10 helps prevent angina by increasing oxygen delivery to the heart muscle. By reducing strain on the heart, it allows individuals to engage in daily activities with less discomfort and more confidence. Regular use as prescribed can help improve overall heart function and quality of life.

Common Side Effects

Most side effects are mild and reduce over time as your body adjusts. However, speak with your doctor if they persist or worsen.

• Dizziness or lightheadedness (especially when standing up quickly)

Managing side effects: Drink adequate water, avoid alcohol, and consider mild pain relief for headaches (only after consulting your doctor).

How to Take

• Take it exactly as advised by your physician

• Swallow whole with water—do not crush or chew

• Take on an empty stomach for best results

How It Works

Sorbitrate 10 belongs to the nitrate group of medications. It functions by dilating blood vessels, easing the flow of blood and reducing the heart’s oxygen needs. This prevents the narrowing of arteries that leads to chest pain during physical activity or stress.
