Vasoprin SD 30 mg/150 mg Tablet belongs to a class of antianginals, which is used 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.

Vasoprin SD 30 mg/150 mg Tablet is a combination of medication containing Isosorbide Mononitrate and aspirin. Isosorbide Mononitrate is a powerful vasodilator (widens blood vessels). It works by forming the free radical nitric oxide (NO) inside our body which leads to relaxation of the muscles of blood vessels, especially of the heart leading to proper blood flow towards the heart muscle, which has been working under immense pressure due to decreased blood flow to it. Aspirin has an antithrombotic action that interferes with platelet functioning and does not let them stick together, thus helping to prevent or reduce blood clots. Altogether, Vasoprin SD 30 mg/150 mg Tablet is helpful in treating and preventing episodes of angina.

Isosorbide Mononitrate is a powerful vasodilator that operates by relaxing the blood vessels of the heart, reducing the stress on the heart and making it easier to pump blood. Angina usually feels like tight chest pain, neck or arm area. The pain originates from the heart muscle and is a sign that part of it is not getting enough oxygen for the amount of work it is doing.

Angina: Angina or chest pain is the most common indication of heart disease caused due to decreased blood flow to heart muscles. The heart is dependent on oxygen for its functioning and pumping of blood, yet sometimes due to various genetic and environmental reasons, the blood vessels supplying blood to the heart narrow unexpectedly, causing decreased blood flow to the heart. This abrupt decrease in blood flow leads to increased stress on the heart to pump blood towards different organs, causing an event of acute chest pain that starts from the arm along the jaw and finally involves the chest. Angina pectoris is of 3 types:

1) Stable Angina: It is the most common type in which blood flow to the heart is low compared to what it needs to function, caused by increased physical activity.

2) Unstable Angina: It is the most lethal type in which blood supply to the heart decreases abruptly due to blockage of an artery by a clot etc.

3) Variant Angina: It occurs at rest due to spasmodic narrowing of the artery.
