About Nitrogard Tablet
Nitrogard Tablet belongs to the class of anti-anginal medication, primarily used to prevent and treat angina. Angina occurs when the heart does not get a sufficient amount of oxygen.
Nitrogard Tablet contains Nitroglycerin, a natural vasodilator that works by relaxing the blood vessels. This boosts the blood supply to your heart, allowing more oxygen to reach your heart muscles. As a result, it reduces heart workload and prevents angina attacks.
Sometimes, you may experience side effects like dry mouth, headache, blurred vision, insomnia, tingling, and prickling sensations. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
Do not take Nitrogard Tablet if you are allergic to nitrates or any of its ingredients. Check with your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other prescribed or non-prescribed medicines. Do not stop Nitrogard Tablet abruptly, as it may lead to severe side effects.
