Description
Nitro-Bid 2% Ointment, available in a 60-gram tube, is a medication containing nitroglycerin, primarily used for the prevention and treatment of angina pectoris (chest pain) in patients with coronary artery disease. It works by dilating blood vessels, improving blood flow to the heart, and reducing the heart's workload. Nitro-Bid is applied topically to the skin, allowing for a slow and sustained release of the drug into the bloodstream.
This ointment form of nitroglycerin provides the benefit of controlled, long-acting therapy compared to oral forms. When applied to the skin, it is absorbed through the dermal layers, providing a consistent therapeutic effect for up to several hours. The ointment can be applied to specific areas of the body as directed by the healthcare provider, typically on the chest or upper arm.
Common side effects of Nitro-Bid include headache, dizziness, and skin irritation at the application site. Patients may experience hypotension, especially upon standing, due to the vasodilatory effects of nitroglycerin. Long-term use should be carefully monitored to avoid tolerance to the medication.
