Nitro-Bid (Nitroglycerin) ointment is a topical ointment used to prevent chest pain (angina) in people with a certain heart condition (coronary artery disease). This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as nitrates. Angina occurs when the heart muscle is not getting enough blood.

Nitro-Bid Nitroglycerin Ointment 2% provides effective relief for chronic chest pain (angina). Manufactured by Sandoz, this topical ointment delivers nitroglycerin directly through the skin, providing controlled, long-lasting vasodilation to help prevent and reduce angina episodes. With its easy-to-use formulation, Nitro-Bid ensures patient convenience and adherence.

Details and Features

  • Strength: 2% nitroglycerin concentration
  • Size: 60-gram tube
  • Application: Topical ointment for direct skin application
  • Design: Provides a metered dosing system for consistent application
  • Absorption: Gradual systemic absorption for prolonged effect
  • Packaging: Secure, easy-to-open tube

Mechanism of Action

Nitro-Bid works by delivering nitroglycerin, which is converted to nitric oxide in the body. This potent vasodilator:

  • Relaxes and widens blood vessels
  • Improves blood flow to the heart muscle
  • Reduces the heart's workload and oxygen demand
  • Alleviates and prevents angina attacks
