Indications
Nitroglycerin is demonstrated for the prophylaxis of angina pectoris. The onset of activity isn't adequately quick for this shape to be valuable in prematurely ending an intense anginal scene.
Pharmacology
Nitroglycerin causes unwinding of vascular smooth muscle, creating a vasodilator impact on both fringe supply routes and veins. Expansion of veins advance fringe pooling of blood and diminishes venous return to the heart, in this manner decreasing cleared out ventricular end-diastolic weight (preload) and unwinding of supply routes decrease systemic vascular resistance and blood vessel weight (afterload).
Dosage & Administration
Not for direct intravenous injection. Nitroglycerin injection is a concentrated, potent drug which must be diluted in dextrose (5%) injection or sodium chloride (0.9%) injection prior to its infusion. Nitroglycerin injection should not be mixed with other drugs.
Initial Dilution: Aseptically transfer the contents of one nitroglycerin ampoule (containing 50 mg of nitroglycerin) into a 500 ml glass bottle of either Dextrose (5%) Injection or Sodium Chloride Injection (0.9%).This yields a final concentration of 100 mcg/ml.
Maintenance Dilution: It is important to consider the fluid requirements of the patient as well as the expected duration of infusion in selecting the appropriate dilution of Nitroglycerin Injection. After the initial dosage titration, the concentration of the solution may be increased, if necessary, to limit fluids given to the patient. The nitroglycerin concentration should not exceed 400 mcg/ml.
Interaction
Nitroglycerin widens fringe blood vessels and may increment the antihypertensive properties of vasodilators, calcium adversaries, beta-adrenergic blockers. Concomitant utilize of nitrates with tricyclic antidepressants and liquor may cause tall blood weight. Concomitant utilize of nitrates with phosphodiesterase sort 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, such as sildenafil, vardenafil and tadalafil cause drop in blood weight. Ibuprofen diminishes the clearance and improves the hemodynamic impacts of nitroglycerin. Nitroglycerin may decrease the pharmacologic impacts of heparin when utilized concomitantly. Nitrates increment the bioavailability of dihydroergotamine.
Contraindications
Nitroglycerin is contraindicated in patients with a known touchiness to nitroglycerin, other natural nitrates, or nitrites or to the excipients of the pharmaceutical. It is additionally contraindicated in patients with intense myocardial dead tissue, stamped frailty, head injury, cerebral drain, or closed point glaucoma.
Side Effects
Migraine may happen at the onset of treatment but will more often than not die down after some days. In the event that the cerebral pain continues dose ought to be diminished. Other side impacts incorporate tachycardia, postural hypotension and syncope, cyanosis and methaemoglobinaemia.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Nitroglycerin ought to not be utilized amid pregnancy or lactation unless considered fundamental by the doctor.
Precautions & Warnings
Nitroglycerin ought to be utilized with caution in patients who are inclined to closed-angle glaucoma. As with other drugs for the treatment of angina pectoris, sudden suspension of treatment may lead to worsening of indications. When ceasing long term treatment, the measurement ought to be decreased continuously over a few days, and the understanding carefully observed. The utilize of nitroglycerin amid the early days of intense myocardial dead tissue requires specific consideration to hemodynamic checking and clinical status to dodge the risks of hypotension and tachycardia.
Therapeutic Class
Nitrates: Coronary vasodilators
Storage Conditions
