Medicinal Benefits:

Renuca Tablet is prescribed for treating angina. Renuca Tablet is an anti-anginal medication used to treat angina pectoris. It reduces sodium ions' flow into the heart muscle cells. This interferes with the activity of special channels on the cell surface called ‘sodium-dependent calcium channels’ through which calcium ions normally enter the cells. This reduces the number of calcium ions that enter the cells. Calcium ions normally cause the heart muscle to contract. By reducing the flow of calcium into the cells, Renuca Tablet is thought to help the heart to relax, improving blood flow to the heart muscle and relieving the symptoms of angina pectoris.
