Drug Details
Nitroglycerin, available as the Nitro-Dur patch, is a medication classified under nitrates and is used to prevent chest pain, known as angina, in individuals with coronary artery disease. This condition arises when the heart does not receive sufficient blood. Nitroglycerin functions by relaxing and widening blood vessels, thereby enhancing blood flow to the heart, which helps to reduce heart-related chest pain. It is important to note that this medication is not effective for relieving chest pain once it starts and should not be used just before engaging in physical activities such as exercise or sexual activity to prevent chest pain. The Nitro-Dur patch is applied to the skin once daily for 12 to 14 hours and then removed. Common side effects may include headaches and low blood pressure. It is crucial to avoid using this patch with sildenafil (Viagra) or similar medications, as this combination can result in dangerously low blood pressure. Always consult your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist for more specific guidance and before starting any new treatment.
