Product Introduction
Nitroglycerin 2.6mg is a controlled-release nitrate for prevention of angina episodes. It maintains anti-anginal activity between doses and is not a rapid rescue treatment for sudden chest pain.
How to use
Swallow the controlled-release tablet whole with water. Do not crush or chew. The daily timing must include an appropriate low-nitrate interval to reduce tolerance. Keep the separate rapid-acting angina medicine available if one has been prescribed.
How it works
Nitroglycerin is converted to nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels. Reduced venous return lowers cardiac workload and oxygen demand.
Side effects
Headache and flushing may occur. Fainting or persistent severe headache needs assessment.
Important information
Do not combine with PDE5 inhibitors or riociguat. Alcohol can worsen hypotension. A marked change in angina frequency or chest pain at rest requires prompt assessment.
Uses
- Prevention of angina pectoris associated with coronary artery disease.
Benefits
Reducing cardiac oxygen demand can lessen the frequency of activity-related angina and improve exercise tolerance.
Will this tablet stop an angina attack already underway?
Its controlled release is too slow for reliable immediate relief. Follow the separate chest-pain emergency plan.
Why can headache occur when starting a nitrate?
Widening of blood vessels can cause headache. It may lessen as treatment continues, but severe symptoms need reassessment.
Can I stop it when I have a good week?
A symptom-free period may reflect effective prevention. Abrupt changes can worsen angina.
What if I feel dizzy when standing up after a nitroglycerin tablet?
Sit or lie down until the dizziness settles and rise slowly afterwards. Nitroglycerin can lower blood pressure on standing. Fainting or dizziness with ongoing chest pain needs urgent assessment.
