Frequently asked questions about Nitroglycerin
Q. Can I take sildenafil if I am taking Angistat 2.5 Capsule TR?
No, you should not take sildenafil if you are taking Angistat 2.5 Capsule TR. Taking these two medicines together can cause an excessive fall in blood pressure, which may even be life-threatening.
Q. What effect does Angistat 2.5 Capsule TR have on blood pressure?
Angistat 2.5 Capsule TR decreases the blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels, but is not recommended for the treatment of high blood pressure. The drop in blood pressure may cause lightheadedness, especially when changing your position suddenly.
Q. Does the effect of Angistat 2.5 Capsule TR wear off after some time?
Yes, excessive use of Angistat 2.5 Capsule TR may cause tolerance which means that Angistat 2.5 Capsule TR may lose its effectiveness on you. Therefore, usually the doctors prescribe the smallest dose required for effective relief of acute angina attack. This helps maintain the effectiveness of Angistat 2.5 Capsule TR.
Q. What does too much Angistat 2.5 Capsule TR do?
Excess Angistat 2.5 Capsule TR may result in low blood pressure, sweating, nausea, vomiting, headache, weak and fast pulse. It may also cause weakness, lightheadedness on standing and the patient might even faint. The patient will require emergency medical treatment in such a case.
Q. Can I stop using Angistat 2.5 Capsule TR as I feel better now?
Stopping Angistat 2.5 Capsule TR suddenly may bring on attacks of angina, especially if you have been using it for several weeks or more. Talk to your doctor who will advise you to reduce the dose gradually over 4 to 6 weeks before you stop using it completely.
Q. Does Angistat 2.5 Capsule TR stop heart attacks?
Angistat 2.5 Capsule TR is prescribed to prevent attacks of heart-related chest pain (angina) in patients with coronary artery disease. In this disease the blood vessels (coronary arteries) which supply blood to the heart become narrowed because of which the heart has to work harder to get enough oxygen. Angistat 2.5 Capsule TR prevents angina by relaxing the blood vessels so that the heart does not have to work very hard. Also, relaxation of coronary arteries increases the oxygen supply to the heart.
