Angised Tab 0.5mg 60’s is used to treat and prevent heart-related chest pain (angina). Angina occurs when the heart muscle is not getting enough blood. This medicine works by relaxing and widening blood vessels so blood can flow more easily to the heart.

Glyceryl trinitrate, or GTN, is a type of medicine called a nitrate. It is used to treat angina (chest pain). It can help stop chest pain if an angina attack has already started. It can also help to prevent them from starting. GTN ointment can also be used to treat tears in the skin around your bottom (anal fissures). It comes as tablets or as a spray that you put under your tongue. It also comes as patches and ointment that you put on your skin.

Sometimes GTN patches are used in hospital to make your veins easier to see if you need to have a drip (infusion). GTN is available on prescription.
