Uses of K-Cor 5 Tablet

In Treatment of Angina (heart-related chest pain) K-Cor 5 Tablet helps in prevention as well as treatment of angina
Angina is a chest pain that is usually caused by the narrowing of the blood vessels which supply your heart

K-Cor 5 Tablet relaxes and widens the blood vessels so more blood (and oxygen) gets to your heart
This reduces the pain and discomfort that angina causes thereby improving your ability to exercise and go about your daily life more easily
This medicine needs to be taken regularly to be effective so keep taking it even if you are not having any angina symptoms.
