Description
Anril SR is a vasodilator medication containing Nitroglycerin (2.60 mg), designed for the prophylaxis of chronic stable angina pectoris. It works by relaxing vascular smooth muscles and promoting blood flow, reducing the workload on the heart. Manufactured by Square Pharmaceuticals Limited, it is available in tablet form.
Benefits
Anril SR offers effective management of chronic stable angina by reducing preload and afterload on the heart, preventing angina attacks. It promotes coronary artery dilation, improving oxygen supply to the heart, and helps manage symptoms effectively for patients with heart conditions.
Ingredients
Each tablet contains 2.60 mg of Nitroglycerin as the active ingredient, along with standard excipients used in the formulation of tablets.
Uses and Doses
Anril SR is used for the prevention of angina pectoris in adults. The usual dose is 1-2 tablets taken three times daily, adjusted based on individual patient needs. The lowest effective dose is recommended to minimize side effects.
Side Effects
Common side effects of Nitroglycerin include facial flushing, headaches, dizziness, and postural hypotension. Some patients may experience reflex tachycardia or bradycardia. Rare toxic effects include vomiting, cyanosis, and syncope.
How to Use
Take Anril SR tablets as prescribed by your physician. Swallow the tablet whole with water, without crushing or chewing. Doses should be spaced evenly throughout the day for effective angina management.

Safety Information

Indications
Anril SR is indicated for the prevention of chronic stable angina pectoris, helping reduce the frequency of angina attacks in patients with heart disease.
Pharmacology
Nitroglycerin works by relaxing vascular smooth muscle, and dilating both peripheral veins and arteries. This reduces venous return (preload) and decreases systemic vascular resistance (afterload), lowering the workload on the heart.
Therapeutic Class
Nitrates: Coronary vasodilators
Storage Conditions
