Prevention (prophylaxis) of angina pectoris (chest pain) due to coronary artery disease; chronic stable angina
How Nitrocontin 2.6 Tablet Works
Nitroglycerin is converted to nitric oxide in vascular smooth muscle, causing relaxation. It predominantly dilates veins, reducing preload and myocardial oxygen demand, and also dilates coronary arteries to improve blood flow to the heart.
Dosage & Directions
Oral tablet (modified/controlled release). Take exactly as prescribed, usually 1–2 times daily. Swallow whole with water; do not crush or chew. Can be taken with or without food. Maintain a nitrate-free interval (as advised) to reduce tolerance. Not for acute angina relief unless specifically advised by a doctor.
Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
