Nitrocontin 6.4 Tablet — Uses, Dosage & Benefits

Nitroglycerin (Glyceryl Trinitrate) 6.4 mg prolonged-release tablet

Nitroglycerin is converted to nitric oxide in vascular smooth muscle, causing relaxation. It mainly dilates veins and coronary arteries, reducing preload and myocardial oxygen demand and improving blood flow to the heart.

Tablet (prolonged-release): take exactly as prescribed, usually swallowed whole with water; do not crush/chew/split. Can be taken with or without food; try to take at the same time each day. It is used for prevention, not for immediate relief of an acute angina attack unless your doctor has advised otherwise.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
