Calaptin 40 Tablet

Description

Product Introduction:

Calaptin 40 Tablet is a medication used to manage various heart-related conditions such as angina (heart-related chest pain), hypertension (high blood pressure), and certain types of irregular heartbeats (arrhythmia). It works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, which helps to lower blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart. This makes it easier for the heart to pump blood, improving overall heart function.

Calaptin 40 Tablet should be taken regularly, ideally at a fixed time each day, either with or without food, as prescribed by your doctor. It is important to continue using this medicine even if you feel well, as stopping it suddenly can lead to a worsening of your condition. Calaptin is part of a comprehensive treatment plan that may include lifestyle changes like a healthy diet, exercise, and weight management, all of which should be followed as advised by your healthcare provider.

How Calaptin Works:

By improving blood flow to the heart, Calaptin helps decrease the frequency of angina attacks and supports better heart function.
