Monit GTN is a nitrate, and taking a higher dose than needed can commonly cause weakness, headache, heaviness in the head, and dizziness due to low blood pressure. These symptoms are dose-related and usually improve when the dose is reduced. If the dose is corrected back to 2.6 mg as prescribed, the person often feels better gradually. However, blood pressure should be checked, and a doctor should be informed to rule out ongoing hypotension and to decide whether dose adjustment or temporary stoppage is needed. Do not continue or change the dose without medical advice, especially if dizziness persists or worsens.

It sounds like the body weakness, heavy head, and dizziness could be side effects from taking the higher dose of nitroglycerin (Monit GTN 6.4 mg).

  • These symptoms are known common side effects of nitroglycerin and may improve after switching back to the lower dose (Monit GTN 2.6 mg).
  • However, it is very important to promptly consult the prescribing doctor or a cardiologist to evaluate these symptoms. They can assess whether these effects are solely due to the higher dose or if there might be other underlying issues.
  • While symptoms might improve with dose adjustment, medical supervision is essential to ensure safety and proper management.
  • Keep a close watch on your symptoms, and seek immediate medical attention if you experience worsening dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or any new concerning symptoms.

Please contact your doctor as soon as possible to discuss these symptoms and the best next steps for your care. If symptoms become severe or you feel faint, do not hesitate to seek emergency care.
