Angiplat-2.5 Capsule is primarily utilised to manage angina pectoris, a chest pain arising from reduced blood flow to your heart. It belongs to a family of medicines identified as nitrate vasodilators.

This medication can also provide relief in an acute angina attack or act as a prophylactic measure against angina caused by coronary artery disease. It helps in alleviating discomfort and pain that might occur due to insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle because of blocked or narrowed coronary arteries.

To use this medicine effectively, take it orally as guided by your doctor. It is pivotal to inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications before starting this medicine. If you experience any side effects while using this medicine, promptly notify your doctor. Remember, for best results, you should continue taking the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Angiplat-2.5 Capsule. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Dizziness: When standing up from a sitting or lying position, rise slowly to minimise feeling lightheaded.

Angiplat-2.5 Capsule contains Glyceryl Trinitrate / Nitroglycerin (2.5mg). The activity of this single-component medicine can be explained as follows:

Vasodilation: The active ingredient, Nitroglycerin, acts as a potent vasodilator. Vasodilation refers to the widening of blood vessels, which helps enhance blood flow. This action reduces the heart's workload, making it easier for the heart to pump blood.
Conversion to Nitric Oxide: In your body, Nitroglycerin is converted into Nitric Oxide (NO). NO is a substance that triggers the enzyme guanylate cyclase, leading to increased levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in the smooth muscle cells of your blood vessels.
Vascular Smooth Muscle Relaxation: The increased levels of cGMP result in the relaxation of vascular smooth muscle, further contributing to the dilation of blood vessels. This, in turn, increases the blood and oxygen supply to your heart muscle, helping manage the chest pain associated with angina.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Angiplat-2.5 Capsule if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

If you are breastfeeding, it's essential to discuss the potential risks and benefits with your doctor before starting Angiplat-2.5 Capsule.
