Does Anzy 2.6mg Tablet stop heart attacks?
Anzy 2.6mg Tablet is prescribed for preventing angina attacks in individuals with coronary artery disease (CAD). CAD occurs when the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart, narrow due to various factors. This narrowing causes the heart to work harder to get adequate oxygen. Anzy 2.6mg Tablet prevents angina by relaxing these arteries, reducing strain on the heart. It also increases the flow of oxygenated blood to the heart.
