Nitroglycerin

What is it?

Composition

Each dose of Nitroglycerin is carefully balanced and tested. The composition of the drug includes high-quality components, each of which plays its own significant role.

• The main active substance is nitroglycerin, responsible for vasodilation and facilitating blood flow.
• Various excipients that provide better absorption and effectiveness.
• Special stabilizers that maintain the drug in working condition throughout the shelf life.

Each component is carefully tested and added to the composition to achieve the best therapeutic effect, which helps reduce the symptoms of heart failure.

How to use?

Correct use of Nitroglycerin is the key to its effectiveness. It is important to follow the prescribed regimen and not change the dosage without consulting your doctor.

1. You should take the drug in exactly the doses prescribed by your doctor.
2. The drug can be taken as a preventive measure or to relieve an attack of angina.
3. For optimal action, it is recommended to avoid sudden changes in body position after taking the drugs to avoid possible dizziness.

If you miss a dose, resume taking it as soon as possible, but do not take a double dose at the next dose.

How does it work?

The mechanism of action of Nitroglycerin is to relax blood vessels and increase blood flow to the heart. This is achieved by converting the active substance into nitric oxide in the body, which is a powerful vasodilator. Thanks to this process, the heart receives more oxygen and nutrients, which helps prevent pain and stress. The drug improves the overall blood supply to the body and reduces the risk of a heart attack. In the long term, this action helps improve the quality of life and level of physical activity of patients with heart failure.
