About Nitroplus Injection 5 ml

Nitroplus Injection 5 ml belongs to the class of anti-anginal medication, primarily used for treating angina pectoris and myocardial infarction. Besides this, it is also used to control intraoperative blood pressure.

Sometimes, you may experience headaches, low blood pressure, fast heart rate, dizziness, light-headedness, and blurred vision as side effects. 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.
