Nitrovas SR Tablet 2.6 mg contains Nitroglycerin, a long-acting nitrate used primarily for the prevention of angina pectoris (chest pain) associated with coronary artery disease. The sustained-release (SR) formulation ensures gradual release of the medication, providing prolonged therapeutic effect and reducing the frequency of angina attacks. It is not intended for immediate relief of acute chest pain but is effective for long-term management.

Composition

• Active Ingredient: Nitroglycerin 2.6 mg (Sustained Release)

Mechanism of Action

Nitroglycerin works by releasing nitric oxide, which causes relaxation of vascular smooth muscles. This leads to dilation of veins and arteries, reducing the workload on the heart and improving blood flow to the heart muscle. As a result, oxygen demand decreases, and the frequency of angina episodes is reduced.

• Prevention of angina pectoris
