Nitroglycerin Sublingual Tablets are primarily used for the relief and prevention of sudden chest pain, known as angina. They work by relaxing and widening blood vessels, thereby improving blood flow to the heart. This helps in reducing the heart's workload and oxygen demand, offering rapid relief from symptoms. Nitroglycerin is a fast-acting treatment usually taken at the onset of chest pain or before engaging in activities that may trigger angina episodes.
Introducing Nitroglycerin Sublingual Tablets 0.3 mg by Greenstone Limited, a trusted solution for the prompt relief of acute angina pectoris. Each bottle contains 100 tablets, formulated to provide swift and effective relief for individuals with heart conditions. Greenstone Limited, renowned for its dedication to quality and patient care, ensures that every tablet is manufactured to the highest standards of purity and potency.
Details and Features:
Active Ingredient: Nitroglycerin 0.3 mg per tablet
Quantity: 100 tablets per bottle
Manufacturer: Greenstone Limited
Dosage Form: Sublingual tablets designed for rapid absorption
Packaging: Secure, light-resistant bottle to preserve potency
Intended Use: Management and prevention of acute angina pectoris attacks
Directions:
1. Usage: At the onset of an angina attack, place one tablet under the tongue and allow it to dissolve without swallowing. Do not chew or crush the tablet. If pain persists after 5 minutes, a second tablet may be taken. If pain continues after three tablets in 15 minutes, seek immediate medical assistance.
2. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature. Keep the bottle tightly closed and protected from light and moisture.
3. Handling: Use with dry hands to avoid any premature dissolution of the tablet.
Mechanism of Action:
Nitroglycerin acts by relaxing vascular smooth muscle, resulting in the dilation of peripheral arteries and veins. This dilation reduces the heart’s oxygen demand by decreasing its workload, preload, and afterload. The sublingual form allows for rapid absorption into the bloodstream, quickly alleviating the pain associated with angina pectoris.
Side Effects:
While Nitroglycerin is generally well-tolerated, potential side effects may include:
- Headache
- Dizziness or lightheadedness

Should any side effects become severe or persistent, contact a healthcare professional immediately.
Warnings:
-
Hypersensitivity: Do not use if you are allergic to nitroglycerin or any of its components.

Medication Interaction: Avoid concomitant use with phosphodiesterase inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil) due to severe hypotension risk.
-
Health Conditions: Consult your doctor if you have a history of severe anemia, closed-angle glaucoma, or traumatic head injury.
-
Tolerance: Avoid using nitroglycerin continuously to prevent the development of drug tolerance.
-
Driving and Machinery: Until you know how nitroglycerin affects you, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery.
- Overdose: Seek immediate medical attention in case of overdose or severe side effects.
Always consult with your healthcare provider before beginning any new medication to ensure it’s safe based on your health history and current prescriptions.
