Frequently asked questions about Nitroglycerin
Q. Does the effect of Nitrosol 5mg Injection wear off after sometime?
Yes, excessive use of Nitrosol 5mg Injection may cause tolerance which means that Nitrosol 5mg Injection may lose its effectiveness on you. Therefore, doctors usually prescribe the smallest dose required for effective relief of acute angina attacks. Also, it is usually prescribed in morning and afternoon doses to give nitrate-free interval. Take it strictly as per the dosing interval prescribed by your doctor to prevent tolerance and maintain the effectiveness of Nitrosol 5mg Injection.
Q. What does too much Nitrosol 5mg Injection do?
Excess Nitrosol 5mg Injection 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. Does Nitrosol 5mg Injection stop heart attacks?
Nitrosol 5mg Injection 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 narrow because of which the heart has to work harder to get enough oxygen. Nitrosol 5mg Injection 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.
