Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Nitro-Dur Work?

Nitroglycerin works by converting to nitric oxide in the body, which relaxes and dilates blood vessels (both veins and arteries). This vasodilation decreases preload and afterload on the heart, leading to reduced oxygen demand and relief from angina symptoms.

Common Dosages

  • Transdermal Patch: Available in various strengths (e.g., 0.2 mg/hr, 0.4 mg/hr, 0.6 mg/hr, 0.8 mg/hr).

Typical Dosing

  • The usual regimen involves applying one patch to a hairless area of the skin once daily, typically worn for 12 to 14 hours, followed by a 10 to 12 hour patch-free interval to minimize the development of tolerance.


Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

  • Angina Pectoris: for the prevention of angina attacks in patients with coronary artery disease.


Who Shouldn't Take Nitro-Dur?

  • Known hypersensitivity to nitroglycerin or other nitrates.
  • Severe anemia or hypotension.
  • Concurrent use of phosphodiesterase inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil) due to the risk of severe hypotension.


Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Apply Nitro-Dur to clean, dry, and hairless skin, and rotate application sites to minimize skin irritation.
  • Avoid touching the patch with bare hands after application; wash hands after handling the patch.
  • Monitor for side effects such as headache or dizziness, and report any severe reactions to a healthcare provider.

Risks and Warnings of Nitro-Dur
