The active ingredient in Nitchem 2.6 Tablet 30 is glyceryl trinitrate (2.6 mg). This component acts on your body in the following ways:

Releases nitric oxide: Glyceryl trinitrate releases nitric oxide in your body.
Dilates blood vessels: The released nitric oxide relaxes the smooth muscles of blood vessels, causing them to widen or dilate.
Improves blood flow: The dilation of blood vessels enhances blood flow to the heart.
Reduces heart workload: By improving blood flow, glyceryl trinitrate decreases the workload on your heart and reduces its oxygen demand.
Decreases angina attacks: Less strain on the heart and better blood flow ultimately reduces the severity and frequency of angina attacks.
