Sorbitrate 10 Tablet 50's

Sorbitrate 10 Tablet belongs to the class of blood pressure-lowering medications called ‘nitrate vasodilators’ used in the prevention of angina (heart-related chest pain) or heart failure. Angina pectoris (angina) is chest pain occurring due to reduced blood flow to the heart (coronary artery disease). It occurs when the blood vessels supplying the heart are blocked or narrowed.

Sorbitrate 10 Tablet contains ‘isosorbide dinitrate’, which works by dilating, relaxing, and widening the constricted blood vessels, thereby increasing the blood and oxygen supply to the heart. Thus, it effectively helps prevent the risk of future heart attack and stroke in the future, especially in high blood pressure patients.

This effect helps in improving the blood and oxygen supply to the heart, thus decreasing the risk of angina or heart-related chest pain. Thus, Sorbitrate 10 Tablet prevents the risk of chest pain in heart conditions like coronary artery disease.
