Transderm Nitro 5 Transdermal Patch (Nitroglycerin)

A nitroglycerin patch is a transdermal medication that delivers nitroglycerin through the skin into the bloodstream. Nitroglycerin is a nitrate that relaxes and widens blood vessels, improving blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart while reducing its workload.

Main Use

• Prevention of angina pectoris (chest pain) in patients with coronary artery disease.
• Not for immediate relief of an active angina attack; fast-acting forms like sublingual tablets or sprays are used for that purpose.

Contraindications

Do not use Nitroglycerin patch if you:

• Are allergic to glyceryl trinitrate or any other ingredients in the patch
• Have very low blood pressure
• Suffer from certain heart conditions, such as faulty heart valves or inflammation
• Are using medications like sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), or riociguat, as these can cause dangerously low blood pressure when combined with nitrates

Dosage: The dosage of this medicine depends on the prescription and instruction given by the doctor.

Precautions: Do not take this medicine without any medical consultation with your doctor.
