Anglit 6.4 Tablet CR

Anglit 6.4 Tablet CR is a sustained-release formulation containing Nitroglycerin 6.4mg, a nitrate used for the prevention and treatment of angina pectoris (chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart). It works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, improving blood flow and oxygen delivery to the heart muscle.
