Introduction of Sorbitrate Tablet (Isosorbide Dinitrate)

Sorbitrate tablets belong to a class of blood pressure medications called "nitrate vasodilators" that are used to prevent angina (heart-related chest pain) or heart failure.

Sorbitrate tablets contain 'isosorbide dinitrate', which works by dilating, relaxing and widening constricted blood vessels, thereby enhancing the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart. As a result, it helps to effectively prevent the risk of future heart attacks and strokes, especially in patients with high blood pressure. Sorbitrate Tablet is available in tablet form.

Do not use in patients with severe heart failure, severe hypotension (low blood pressure), brain bleeding, severe dehydration, heart valve problems, advanced heart failure due to chronic lung disease, severe anemia (low iron levels) and hypoxemia (low blood oxygen levels). Combination of Hydralazine and isosorbide dinitrate is used in the treatment of heart failure. Tell your doctor if you have an underactive thyroid, glaucoma (an eye disease), or a head injury.
