Description
Product Introduction:
Sorbitrate 5 Tablet is primarily used to prevent chest pain (angina attacks) caused by conditions like coronary artery disease. It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily to the heart, thereby improving oxygen delivery to the heart muscle. This medicine does not treat an active angina attack, but is used proactively to prevent attacks.

Isosorbide Dinitrate (5mg)
Key Benefits:
- Prevention of Angina (heart-related chest pain): Sorbitrate 5 Tablet helps prevent angina attacks, allowing you to manage physical activity and daily tasks without experiencing the chest pain caused by reduced oxygen supply to the heart.

Side Effects of Sorbitrate 5 Tablet:

How Sorbitrate 5 Tablet Works:
- Mechanism: Sorbitrate 5 Tablet contains Isosorbide Dinitrate, a type of nitrate. It works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the blood vessels, which results in their dilation (widening). This reduces the oxygen demand of the heart and alleviates the workload on the heart, thus preventing episodes of angina (chest pain).
