About SWISS NITROCIN INJECTION 5ML

SWISS NITROCIN INJECTION 5ML 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.

SWISS NITROCIN INJECTION 5ML 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 and reducing chest pain.

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.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to any component present in SWISS NITROCIN INJECTION 5ML. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before receiving this medicine. Keep your doctor informed about your medical history and ongoing medications to rule out any potential interactions.
