Angina Medications

Angina is a type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscles. It often presents as pressure or squeezing in the chest and can be triggered by physical activity or stress. Medications for angina help relieve symptoms, improve heart function, and prevent future episodes.

Common medications for angina include nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate, isosorbide mononitrate, amlodipine, ranolazine, and beta-blockers like metoprolol and atenolol. These drugs work by relaxing blood vessels, reducing heart workload, or improving blood flow to the heart.
