Benefits of Nitrotap Aplicap
In Prevention of Angina (heart-related chest pain)
Nitrotap Applicap helps in prevention as well as treatment of angina. Angina is a chest pain that is usually caused by narrowing of the blood vessels which supply your heart. This means your heart does not get enough oxygen.

When applied to the skin, it releases nitric oxide, a compound that relaxes the smooth muscles in the blood vessel walls. This relaxation allows the blood vessels to widen, improving blood flow to the heart and reducing the workload on the heart muscle. By increasing blood supply to the heart, this medicine helps reduce pain and discomfort angina (chest pain) associated with reduced blood flow.
