Uses of Ist 20 MG Tablet SR

What is it prescribed for?

Peripheral vascular diseases

Peripheral vascular diseases (PVD) is a condition in which the blood vessels are narrowed or blocked by fat plaques in the arteries outside of the heart and brain. The build-up of fat or cholesterol plaques inside the blood vessels, a condition called atherosclerosis can decrease or stop the blood flow usually to the arms and legs. Ist 20 MG Tablet SR makes blood vessels wider and allows blood to pass through them more easily. Hence it is used to treat poor blood flow conditions like Buerger's disease and Raynaud's disease to improve the blood flow in the blood vessels.
