About Nitrotap Applicap
Nitrotap Applicap belongs to the class of anti-anginal medication primarily used to prevent angina pectoris due to coronary artery disease. It can be used as monotherapy or in combination with other anti-anginal agents.
Nitrotap Applicap contains nitroglycerin, a natural vasodilator that works by relaxing the blood vessels. This boosts the blood supply to the heart, allowing more oxygen to reach the heart muscles and reducing chest pain. Thus, it prevents angina.
Sometimes, Nitrotap Applicap may cause nausea, vomiting, headache, and application site reactions such as redness, itching or burning sensation. 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 Nitrotap Applicap , if you are pregnant, suspect you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or if you are breastfeeding. Notify your doctor if you are taking any other medicines or have pre-existing medical conditions to prevent potential interactions.
