About Angicorn Tablet 15's

Angicorn Tablet 15's is used alone or with other medicines to treat angina pectoris. Angina pectoris is discomfort in the chest or chest pain, which generally occurs due to coronary artery disease (CAD) when an adequate amount of oxygen and blood is not reaching the heart and its muscles. It can also be due to the blockage of the heart's arteries. It helps prevent any further attack of angina by making the heart work more efficiently, and it is used as an add-on to existing treatment in patients whose disease is not adequately controlled by other medicines for angina pectoris, such as beta-blockers or calcium antagonists, or in patients who cannot take these medicines.

The active substance in Angicorn Tablet 15's is Ranolazine, which reduces sodium ions flow into the heart muscle cells. This interferes with the activity of special channels on the cell surface called 'sodium-dependent calcium channels, through which calcium ions normally enter the cells. This reduces the number of calcium ions that enter the cells. Calcium ions normally cause the heart muscle to contract. By reducing the flow of calcium into the cells, Angicorn Tablet 15's is thought to help the heart relax, improving blood flow to the heart muscle and relieving the symptoms of angina pectoris.

If you stop taking the Angicorn Tablet 15's on your own, your chest pain can come back in more severe form. If you plan to get pregnant or are pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult your doctor to avoid any unwanted harm to the baby. Some lifestyle modifications are important for best results when taking Angicorn Tablet 15's, like smoking cessation, decreasing alcohol intake, eating well, regular exercise, and managing stress.
