Nitroglycerin
Active pharmaceutical substance formulated in Jan Aushadhi generic products for Cardiac & Hypertension treatment.
🧴 Clinical Application
For controlled-release tablets: swallow whole with water on an empty stomach (1 hour before or 2 hours after meals); do not crush or chew. A nitrate-free interval of 10 to 12 hours daily is required to prevent nitrate tolerance. For sublingual tablets: place under tongue at the onset of chest pain; do not swallow.
⚠️ Side Effects
Common: Throbbing headache ("nitrate headache"), flushing, dizziness, postural hypotension, reflex tachycardia, weakness. Rare/Severe: Severe hypotension, syncope, methemoglobinemia, and paradoxically worsened angina.
🛡️ Safety Warnings
Absolute contraindication: Concomitant use with phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitors (sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil) causes catastrophic, life-threatening hypotension and cardiovascular collapse. Contraindicated in severe aortic stenosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and severe anemia. Nitrate tolerance develops rapidly without a daily nitrate-free interval.
