FAQ's on Angistat 2.5 Capsule TR 25s

Can I take sildenafil if I am taking Angistat?

No, you should not take sildenafil if you are taking Angistat. Taking these two medicines together can cause an excessive fall in blood pressure, which may even be life-threatening.

What effect does Angistat have on blood pressure?

Angistat decreases the blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels, but is not recommended for the treatment of high blood pressure. The drop in blood pressure may cause lightheadedness, especially when changing your position suddenly.

Does the effect of Angistat wear off after sometime?

Yes, excessive use of Angistat may cause tolerance which means that Angistat may lose its effectiveness on you. Therefore, usually the doctors prescribe the smallest dose required for effective relief of acute angina attack. This helps maintain the effectiveness of Angistat.

Does Angistat stop heart attacks?

Angistat is prescribed to prevent attacks of heart-related chest pain (angina) in patients with coronary artery disease. In this disease the blood vessels (coronary arteries) which supply blood to the heart become narrowed because of which the heart has to work harder to get enough oxygen. Angistat prevents angina by relaxing the blood vessels so that the heart does not have to work very hard. Also, relaxation of coronary arteries increases the oxygen supply to the heart.

Can I stop using Angistat as I feel better now?

Stopping Angistat suddenly may bring on attacks of angina, especially if you have been using it for several weeks or more. Talk to your doctor who will advise you to reduce the dose gradually over 4 to 6 weeks before you stop using it completely.

What does too much Angistat do?

Excess Angistat may result in low blood pressure, sweating, nausea, vomiting, headache, weak and fast pulse. It may also cause weakness, lightheadedness on standing and the patient might even faint. The patient will require emergency medical treatment in such a case.
