Understanding cardiac care medicines

Cardiac medicines cover different treatment goals. Blood-pressure medicines, diuretics, cholesterol-lowering medicines and antiplatelet treatments have different roles; one product is not a substitute for every other medicine in this category.

The catalogue includes single-ingredient and combination products. A combination tablet contains more than one active ingredient, so compare every ingredient and strength with the prescription. For modified-release tablets, the release type is also part of the product identity.

Are different cardiac medicines interchangeable?

No. A change can affect blood pressure, heart rate, fluid balance or clotting. A prescriber or pharmacist should confirm a change in ingredient, strength, combination or release type.

For an enquiry, include the product name, strength, dosage form, pack quantity and destination country. Send a product enquiry or read about export documentation support.
