Is Galpent 100 mg effective in treating atherosclerosis?

No, Galpent 100 mg contains pentaerythrityl tetranitrate, which is primarily used to treat stable coronary heart disease, not directly to treat atherosclerosis.

The drug works by dilating blood vessels and reducing the oxygen demand of the heart muscle, which helps with the symptoms of cardiac ischemia, but does not treat the causes of atherosclerosis, which is the narrowing of the vessels caused by the deposition of atherosclerotic plaques.

In the case of atherosclerosis, treatment should be comprehensive and include lifestyle changes and medications to lower cholesterol levels and control other risk factors. Galpent can be used as part of an adjunctive therapy for ischemic heart disease, which may be a consequence of atherosclerosis, but it is not a cure for atherosclerosis itself.

If you have doubts about this situation, it is always worth consulting a doctor who can provide more personalized advice. If you are not able to make a face-to-face visit, I attach a link to the online teleconsultation:
