Oxygtn-2.6 Tablet 30's

Oxygtn-2.6 Tablet 30's 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.

As a result, it reduces heart workload and prevents attacks of angina. The dose of Oxygtn-2.6 Tablet 30's 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.
