Benefits of Sorbitrate Tablet

In Prevention of Angina (heart-related chest pain)

Sorbitrate 10 reduces your risk of getting heart-related chest pain (angina attack). It does not treat an angina attack that has already begun and should not be used for this purpose. It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels in the heart. This makes it easier for blood to flow to the heart, so it gets more oxygen. This medicine thus helps to increase your ability to exercise and go about your daily life more easily and confidently. It should be taken regularly to be effective.

In Controlling Heart failure

Heart failure means your heart is weak and cannot pump enough blood to your lungs and the rest of your body. The most common symptoms are breathlessness, tiredness, and swelling in your legs, ankles, abdomen, and other parts of your body. Sorbitrate 10 makes it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body and is, therefore, an effective treatment for heart failure.

This medicine will help relieve your symptoms, making you feel better and more energetic. You should make appropriate lifestyle changes (such as eating healthily and keeping active) to help this medicine be effective. Take it regularly and keep taking it even if you feel better.

FAQs

What is Sorbitrate 10 and what is it used for?

Sorbitrate 10 belongs to a group of medicines called organic nitrates. Sorbitrate 10 is used to prevent and treat angina pectoris and as an adjunctive treatment in severe acute or chronic congestive cardiac failure.

How does Sorbitrate 10 work?

Sorbitrate 10 works by widening the blood vessels in your heart to allow an increased amount of blood flow to areas which need it.

Does Sorbitrate 10 lower heart rate?

No, Sorbitrate 10 does not lower heart rate. However, in some cases, one may experience reflex tachycardia (fast heart rate) while using nitrates such as Sorbitrate 10.

Does Sorbitrate 10 lower blood pressure?

Yes, Sorbitrate 10 lowers blood pressure. This medicine widens the blood vessels and decreases the resistance in them, causing a fall in blood pressure. This fall in blood pressure may in turn decrease the heartbeat which can lead to angina. This medicine should be avoided in people who already have low blood pressure. Discuss with your doctor if you have any concerns.

Can I take sildenafil while taking Sorbitrate 10?

No, you should not take sildenafil along with Sorbitrate 10. Both these medicines lower blood pressure and belong to the same class. Taking these two medicines together may cause significant decrease in blood pressure which can cause fainting or even a heart attack. Along with this, avoid taking other medicines which belong to the same class such as vardenafil and tadalafil.
