Product introduction

Ncrd-OD Tablet PR is a medicine used to prevent and treat heart-related chest pain (angina). It is usually prescribed when other heart medicines are either not suitable or have not worked. It reduces the risk of an angina attack by widening blood vessels and improving blood flow to the heart.

Ncrd-OD Tablet PR is known as a vasodilator. It is used to treat hypertension and also to manage heart failure

Uses of Ncrd Tablet PR

Benefits of Ncrd Tablet PR

In Treatment of Angina

Ncrd-OD Tablet PR helps in prevention as well as treatment of angina. Angina is a chest pain that is usually caused by the narrowing of the blood vessels which supply your heart. This means your heart does not get enough oxygen. Ncrd-OD Tablet PR relaxes and widens the blood vessels so more blood (and oxygen) gets to your heart. This reduces the pain and discomfort that angina causes thereby improving your ability to exercise and go about your daily life more easily. This medicine needs to be taken regularly to be effective so keep taking it even if you are not having any angina symptoms.

Side effects of Ncrd Tablet PR

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

Common side effects of Ncrd

  • Headache
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Weakness
  • Dizziness
  • Flushing (sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck and trunk)

How to use Ncrd Tablet PR

Use it as advised by your doctor or check the label for directions before use. Ncrd-OD Tablet PR may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

How Ncrd Tablet PR works

Ncrd-OD Tablet PR is a vasodilator. It works by reducing the workload of the heart. As a result, heart muscle does not need as much blood and oxygen supply. It also relaxes coronary artery (that carries blood to heart). This reduces the frequency and severity of angina attacks.
