Product introduction

Sorbitrate 5 Tablet must be taken in the dose and duration as advised by the doctor. Place the tablet under the tongue or between the cheek and gum, and let it dissolve. It is usually taken as needed, either 5 to 10 minutes before physical activities or at the first sign of angina. You should take the medicine as it is prescribed for you and keep taking it, even if you feel well. If you stop taking it suddenly your risk of an angina attack will increase. Lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and not smoking may help this drug work better.

You can develop tolerance to this medicine over time, which means that the same dose becomes less effective. You have to stick to a really specific dosing schedule to prevent this from happening.

The most common side effects of this medicine include headache and lightheadedness. These may disappear once you have got used to the medicine. If you are worried, or the symptoms do not go away, let your doctor know. Some of these can be reduced by taking painkillers, drinking plenty of fluids, and avoiding alcohol. Alcohol may increase some side effects (dizziness, drowsiness, feeling light-headed, or fainting). Medical tests (such as blood pressure) may be required to monitor your progress and check for side effects.

Frequently asked questions

What is Sorbitrate 5 Tablet and what is it used for?

Sorbitrate 5 Tablet belongs to a group of medicines known as nitrates. It is used to prevent angina (heart-related chest pain). This is done by widening the blood vessels and making blood flow easier. However, it is important to know that this medicine does not treat a chest pain that has already begun.

How does Sorbitrate 5 Tablet work?

Sorbitrate 5 Tablet works by widening the blood vessels in your heart to allow an increased amount of blood flow to areas which need it.

Does Sorbitrate 5 Tablet lower heart rate?

No, Sorbitrate 5 Tablet does not lower heart rate. However, in some cases, one may experience reflex tachycardia (fast heart rate) while using nitrates such as Sorbitrate 5 Tablet.

Does Sorbitrate 5 Tablet lower blood pressure?

Yes, Sorbitrate 5 Tablet lowers blood pressure. This medicine widens the blood vessels and decreases the resistance in them, causing a fall in blood pressure.

Discuss with your doctor if you have any concerns.

Can I take sildenafil while taking Sorbitrate 5 Tablet?

No, you should not take sildenafil along with Sorbitrate 5 Tablet. Both these medicines lower blood pressure and belong to the same class.
