Introduction of GTN Sorbitrate CR 2.6mg Tablet

GTN Sorbitrate CR 2.6 Tablet 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.
