Product Details

Sustac 2.6mg Tablets are a sustained-release formulation containing Glyceryl Trinitrate, a medication belonging to the nitrates category. These tablets are specifically designed to provide a controlled release of the active ingredient over time, ensuring a consistent and effective dose for managing cardiovascular conditions. Glyceryl Trinitrate works by relaxing the blood vessels, allowing for better blood flow and reducing the strain on the heart, making it a crucial medication for individuals with certain heart conditions.

Purposes

Sustac 2.6mg Tablets are primarily used for:

1. Angina Pectoris Management: Sustac is commonly prescribed for the prevention and treatment of angina pectoris (chest pain) caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. By dilating blood vessels, it helps relieve chest pain and discomfort associated with angina.

2. Improving Blood Flow: The active ingredient, Glyceryl Trinitrate, helps improve blood flow by relaxing and widening blood vessels, reducing the heart's workload and oxygen demand.

3. Long-Term Cardiovascular Support: As a sustained-release tablet, Sustac provides prolonged relief, making it ideal for long-term management of angina and other related cardiovascular conditions.

Warnings

Sustac 2.6mg Tablets should be taken under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Inform your doctor of any known allergies to nitrates or any of the ingredients in this medication. Do not use Sustac if you have low blood pressure, severe anemia, or if you are currently using certain medications such as phosphodiesterase inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil, tadalafil) for erectile dysfunction, as these can cause severe interactions. Regular monitoring by your healthcare provider is essential to ensure the medication is working effectively and safely.
