Prevention (prophylaxis) of angina pectoris (chest pain) due to coronary artery disease
How Alnitro 6.4MG Tab Works
Nitroglycerin is converted to nitric oxide in vascular smooth muscle, causing relaxation. This dilates veins and arteries, reducing preload and myocardial oxygen demand and improving coronary blood flow, thereby preventing angina.

Take exactly as prescribed. Usually taken by mouth as a prolonged/controlled-release tablet; swallow whole with water—do not crush or chew. Often taken on a regular schedule; may be taken with or without food. Your doctor may advise a daily nitrate-free interval to reduce tolerance.
