SAPHROBIDE-30 Isosorbide Mononitrate 30mg is used for the long-term prevention and treatment of angina pectoris, or chest pain, caused by coronary artery disease. It is a vasodilator that helps by relaxing the blood vessels, which increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart while reducing its workload. This prolonged-release formulation is not intended to treat an acute angina attack that has already started, as it does not work fast enough.

DIGOSAPH Digoxin 250mcg is used for treating mild to moderate chronic heart failure, especially when the condition is accompanied by atrial fibrillation or ventricular dilatation. It is also indicated for the management of certain supraventricular arrhythmias, particularly chronic atrial flutter and fibrillation. This medicine works by increasing the force of the heart's contractions and helping to control the rate and rhythm of the heartbeat. Its use helps to improve blood circulation and overall cardiac efficiency.

TELSITAN-40 Telmisartan 40mg is used for the treatment and long-term management of high blood pressure, also known as essential hypertension. It is also indicated to reduce the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, such as heart attack or stroke, in individuals aged 55 years and older who have established heart problems or diabetes. This medication helps by relaxing and widening blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure and makes it easier for the heart to pump.

ANGISARTAN Losartan 50mg is used for treating essential hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, in adult patients. As an angiotensin II receptor blocker, it works by relaxing the blood vessels to allow blood to flow more easily, thereby lowering blood pressure. It is also indicated to reduce the risk of stroke in patients with hypertension who have left ventricular hypertrophy and offers crucial kidney protection for individuals with type 2 diabetes and proteinuria.

ZEMDIL Diltiazem 30mg is used for the management of hypertension, either alone or in combination with other blood pressure treatments. As a calcium channel blocker, this medicine helps improve exercise tolerance and manage chronic stable angina, commonly known as classic effort-associated chest pain. The medication is also indicated for angina pectoris that is caused by coronary artery spasm, including Prinzmetal's variant angina. This active substance works by relaxing blood vessels and increasing the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart.

ATENOVA-100 Atenolol 100mg is used for the management of high blood pressure, a condition known as hypertension. It also serves as a treatment for chronic stable angina pectoris, helping to relieve chest pain. Furthermore, it is indicated for the management of certain cardiac dysrhythmias and to improve survival rates following a heart attack. This medication helps to slow the heart rate and reduce the heart's workload, which contributes to its therapeutic effects.

RITEMED Losartan 100mg is used for managing essential hypertension, commonly referred to as high blood pressure, in adult patients. It is also indicated to reduce the risk of stroke in those with high blood pressure and left ventricular hypertrophy. This medication, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, aids in kidney protection for individuals with type 2 diabetes who also have proteinuria. The drug works by relaxing blood vessels to effectively lower blood pressure.

DIASTATIN Simvastatin 20mg is used for the reduction of abnormally high levels of cholesterol and other harmful fats, such as triglycerides and LDL cholesterol, in the blood. This reduction is achieved by inhibiting a key enzyme in the liver responsible for producing cholesterol. The regimen is indicated for individuals with primary or mixed hypercholesterolemia, including those with genetic high cholesterol conditions. Furthermore, it is prescribed to decrease the substantial risk of major cardiovascular events like heart attack and stroke in high-risk individuals.
