Frequently asked questions about Nitroglycerin
Q. Can I take sildenafil if I am taking Nitrolip 2.6mg Tablet CR?
No, you should not take sildenafil if you are taking Nitrolip 2.6mg Tablet CR. Taking these two medicines together can cause an excessive fall in blood pressure, which may even be life-threatening.
Q. What effect does Nitrolip 2.6mg Tablet CR have on blood pressure?
Nitrolip 2.6mg Tablet CR 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.

Yes, excessive use of Nitrolip 2.6mg Tablet CR may cause tolerance which means that Nitrolip 2.6mg Tablet CR may lose its effectiveness on you.

Excess Nitrolip 2.6mg Tablet CR 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 Nitrolip 2.6mg Tablet CR as I feel better now?
Stopping Nitrolip 2.6mg Tablet CR 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 Nitrolip 2.6mg Tablet CR stop heart attacks?
Nitrolip 2.6mg Tablet CR 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. Nitrolip 2.6mg Tablet CR 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.
