FAQs

How does Nitroglyrin 6.4mg work?

Nitroglyrin 6.4mg relaxes and widens blood vessels by releasing nitric oxide, which reduces the heart’s workload and oxygen demand, relieving chest pain.

Can I take Nitroglyrin every day?

Yes, but only if prescribed for prevention (e.g., long-acting tablets, patches). Short-acting forms (like sublingual tablets) are usually used as needed for acute pain.

What should I do if I feel dizzy or faint after taking it?

Sit or lie down immediately. Dizziness is often due to lowered blood pressure. Avoid standing up too quickly after taking it.
