✔️ Side Effects: Nitrocontin 2.6

• Common: Headache, dizziness, drowsiness, low energy, low blood pressure.
• Uncommon: Fainting, flushing, nausea, vomiting, localized burning sensation.
• Rare: Restlessness, heartburn, skin rash, circulatory collapse.

In case of an overdose, symptoms may include nausea, low blood pressure, fainting, breathing difficulties, and slow heart rate. Seek immediate medical attention if an overdose is suspected.

✔️ Indications: Nitrocontin 2.6

Nitrocontin 2.6 mg is used to treat and prevent heart-related chest discomfort (angina). Angina occurs when there is insufficient blood flow to the heart muscle, often due to coronary artery disease. Nitrocontin relaxes and widens blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow to the heart. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and treatment duration recommended by your doctor.

✔️ Pharmacology: Nitrocontin 2.6

Nitroglycerin works by inducing relaxation of vascular smooth muscles, leading to vasodilation of both peripheral arteries and veins. Venous dilation helps reduce the return of blood to the heart (preload), while arterial relaxation lowers systemic vascular resistance and blood pressure (afterload), improving overall blood flow and reducing the workload on the heart.

✔️ Dosage & Administration: Nitrocontin 2.6

The dosage of Nitrocontin should be individualized based on the patient's response and the severity of the angina. Typically, for adults, one sustained-release tablet or capsule (2.6 mg) is taken in the morning and evening on an empty stomach. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage for your specific condition.

✔️ Directions for Use: Nitrocontin 2.6

Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. Swallow the tablet with water without crushing or chewing it. If it’s a sublingual tablet, place it under the tongue and allow it to dissolve completely.

✔️ Interaction:

• Nitroglycerin can enhance the antihypertensive effects of vasodilators, calcium antagonists, and beta-blockers by dilating peripheral blood vessels.
• Combining nitrates with tricyclic antidepressants or alcohol may increase the risk of high blood pressure.
• Using nitrates with PDE5 inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil, vardenafil, tadalafil) can lead to a significant drop in blood pressure.
• Aspirin increases nitroglycerin's hemodynamic effects and reduces its clearance.
• Nitroglycerin may reduce the effects of heparin.
• The bioavailability of dihydroergotamine is increased when taken with nitrates.

✔️ Contraindications

Nitroglycerin is contraindicated in patients who are allergic to nitroglycerin, other organic nitrates, nitrites, or any excipients in the medicine. It should also not be used in patients with acute myocardial infarction, severe anemia, head trauma, cerebral hemorrhage, or closed-angle glaucoma.

✔️ Pregnancy & Lactation:

Nitroglycerin should only be used during pregnancy or lactation if deemed necessary by a doctor.

✔️ Precautions & Warnings:

Nitroglycerin should be used with caution in patients with closed-angle glaucoma. Abrupt discontinuation of the medication may worsen angina symptoms, so dosage reduction should be gradual over several days under medical supervision. Careful monitoring of blood pressure and heart function is essential when using nitroglycerin, especially in the early stages of a heart attack, to avoid risks such as hypotension and tachycardia.

✔️ Storage Conditions:

Store Nitrocontin in a cool, dry place, away from light and heat. Keep all medications out of the reach of children.
