Nitroglycerin Sublingual Tablets are a medication used to relieve or prevent chest pain, known as angina, associated with coronary artery disease. These tablets work by widening blood vessels, improving blood flow to the heart and reducing its workload. They are placed under the tongue where they dissolve quickly, providing rapid relief from angina symptoms. Nitroglycerin is crucial for managing acute angina episodes and can also be used before activities likely to provoke angina, such as exercise or stress, enhancing patient quality of life.

This formulation, distinguished by its heritage of excellence, ensures both efficiency and comfort.

Mechanism of Action:
Nitroglycerin, a nitrate, functions by relaxing and dilating blood vessels throughout the body, particularly in the arteries and veins. This vasodilation decreases the heart's workload by reducing the amount of blood returning to the heart, thereby lowering myocardial oxygen demand. The sublingual route allows for rapid absorption directly into the bloodstream, offering quick relief from acute angina pectoris.

Common side effects may include:
- Headaches
- Dizziness
- Flushing
- Nausea

If any of these effects persist or worsen, contact your healthcare provider. Report any severe side effects, including fainting, irregular heartbeat, or vision changes, to a professional immediately.
Warnings:
-
Hypersensitivity: Do not use if allergic to nitroglycerin or any other nitrates.
-
Medication Interactions: Avoid concurrent use with phosphodiesterase inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil) and alcohol, which may lead to severe hypotension.

-
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Use only if clearly needed after consultation with your healthcare provider.
-
