Allgtn 2.6 Tablet is used to prevent attacks of angina (chest pain) and treatment of angina due to coronary artery disease. Angina occurs when the heart does not get a sufficient amount of oxygen. When the heart does not get enough oxygenated blood, then it is unable to function properly. If proper treatment is not provided at the right time, it can even cause heart attack, heart failure, or arrhythmias (irregular heart rhythms).
Allgtn 2.6 Tablet contains Glyceryl Trinitrate, a vasodilator in nature, which works by relaxing the blood vessels and decreasing the demand for oxygen the heart requires. As a result, it reduces heart workload and prevents attacks of angina. The dose of Allgtn 2.6 Tablet may be required to increase after a certain time as tolerance may develop after some time. Your doctor might increase the dose depending on your condition, and please stick to the dosage schedule.
