Themidon Tablet


Product introduction

Themidon Tablet is an anti-anginal medicine used for treating heart-related chest pain (angina). It prevents new attacks of angina but does not stop an acute attack once it has started. It can be used alone or in combination with some other medicines.

Themidon Tablet is a medicine used for treating heart-related chest pain (angina) caused due to narrowing of blood vessels of the heart. It effectively prevents new attacks of angina but does not stop an acute attack once it has started. This medicine should be used along with lifestyle changes like healthy diet, regular exercise, and smoking cessation for best results. It is used as an add-on therapy for patients who are not relieved by or are intolerant to the initial medicines. It should not be stopped abruptly. Headache, vomiting, and dizziness may be seen as side effects.

Uses of Themidon Tablet

Benefits of Themidon Tablet

In Treatment of Angina

Angina is chest pain or discomfort that happens when there is not enough oxygen-rich blood going to part of your heart. This can occur when the blood vessels of the heart become narrow. By preserving energy metabolism in cells exposed to reduced oxygen supply, Themidon Tablet prevents a decrease in intracellular energy levels, thereby ensuring the proper functioning of heart muscle cells. Themidon Tablet can also help increase your ability to exercise and lead your daily life more easily by reducing the frequency of angina attacks. You should take it regularly and as long as it is prescribed for it to work effectively.

Research shows that the frequency of angina attacks reduces significantly after 6 months of treatment with Themidon Tablet.
