Nitroxer 6.4 Tablet CR is a controlled-release formulation containing Nitroglycerin 6.4mg. It is primarily used for the prevention of angina pectoris (chest pain) associated with coronary artery disease.

How Nitroxer 6.4 Tablet CR Works
Nitroxer contains Nitroglycerin, a nitrate that relaxes vascular smooth muscles. This dilation reduces the heart’s workload by decreasing both preload and afterload, enhancing oxygen delivery and reducing angina symptoms. The controlled-release formulation allows a steady release of medicine for long-lasting protection.
