Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Nitro-Bid Work?
Nitroglycerin works by releasing nitric oxide, which relaxes and dilates blood vessels (veins and arteries). This vasodilation reduces the amount of blood returning to the heart (preload) and decreases the heart's oxygen demand, alleviating angina symptoms.
Common Dosages
- Ointment: usually 2% nitroglycerin.
- Transdermal Patch: various strengths.
Typical Dosing
- For angina, the ointment is typically applied to the skin in a specific dose, often starting at 0.5 inches to 2 inches of ointment, applied to a hairless area of the skin. The dosing may be adjusted based on individual response.
- The transdermal patch is usually applied once daily and worn for 12 to 14 hours before being removed.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Angina Pectoris: for the prevention and treatment of angina attacks.
- Heart Failure: in some cases, to improve symptoms.
Who Shouldn't Take Nitro-Bid?
