Nitroduce 6.4XL

Composition of Nitroduce 6.4XL

Nitroduce 6.4XL contains Glyceryl trinitrate (Nitroglycerin) 6.4 mg modified-release/extended-release tablet. It belongs to the Organic nitrate (vasodilator) class of medicines.

Uses of Nitroduce 6.4XL

Prevention (prophylaxis) of angina pectoris (chest pain) due to coronary artery disease; used to reduce frequency of angina attacks (not for immediate relief of an acute attack).

Key benefits

• Prevents angina attacks
• Reduces chest pain frequency
• Improves exercise tolerance in stable angina
• Lowers cardiac workload by reducing preload
• Improves coronary blood flow

How Nitroduce 6.4XL works

Nitroglycerin is converted to nitric oxide in vascular smooth muscle, which relaxes and dilates veins and arteries. This reduces preload and myocardial oxygen demand and improves coronary blood flow, helping prevent angina.

How to take Nitroduce 6.4XL

Take by mouth exactly as prescribed. Swallow the extended-release tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew. Usually taken 1–2 times daily; often a daily nitrate-free interval may be advised to prevent tolerance. Can be taken with or without food; take at the same times each day.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
