LAHORE: A vital medicine used for heart-related chest pain (angina) is short in the market across Punjab.
Manufactured by a multinational pharmaceutical company, the life-saving medicine, Angised (0.5mg), was the only available remedy in an emergency. A patient feeling chest pain/heart pain (angina) is suggested to keep it under the tongue to prevent risk to life.
Senior cardiologists and surgeons said the shortage was all over the country and its main reason might be the low price. They held the retailers and distributors responsible for the shortage.
However, there was another opinion that the globally recognised pharmaceutical company had either halted its production or limited it because of some other reasons.
