Used For

Angina

How it works

The principal pharmacological action of Nitroglycerine is relaxation of vascular smooth muscle, and consequent dilatation of peripheral arteries and veins, especially the latter. Dilatation of the veins promotes peripheral pooling and decreases venous return to the heart, thereby reducing left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (preload). Arteriolar relaxation reduces systemic vascular resistance, systolic arterial pressure, and mean arterial pressure (after load). Dilatation of the coronary arteries also occurs.

Nitroscot Capsules Usage And Safety

Dosage

Nitroglycerine

Side Effects

Adverse effects include facial flushing and headache. Toxic effects of Nitroglycerine include vomiting, restlessness, cyanosis, methaemoglobinaemia and syncope. They disappear on dosage reduction and usually do not necessitate the discontinuation of the treatment. Regular use of Nitroglycerine (3 times a day) should be avoided because of the development of tolerance. 2 times daily administration and withdrawal for a short period may reestablish the original sensitivity.

Drug Interactions

Nitroglycerine may enhance the effects of peripheral vasodilators. The hypotensive effects of nitrates are potentiated by concurrent administration of sildenafil.

Indication

It is indicated for : The prophylaxis of angina pectoris. Prevention and treatment of effort and vasospastic angina. Supplementary treatment of heart failure refractory to digitalis and diuretic treatment.

When not to Use

Nitroglycerine should not be used in patients with marked anaemia, head trauma, cerebral haemorrhage or incipient glaucoma. Sildenafil has been shown to potentiate the hypotensive effects of nitrates, and its co-administration with nitrates or nitric oxide donors is therefore contraindicated.

Nitroscot Capsules Precautions

Precaution

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