Name: Nitrogard

Nitrogard Usage

  • Do not chew, crush, or swallow nitroglycerin tablets.
  • You should sit down when taking nitroglycerin tablets and use caution when you stand up. This eliminates the possibility of falling due to lightheadedness or dizziness.
  • One tablet should be dissolved under the tongue or in the oral cavity at the first sign of chest pain.
  • The dose may be repeated approximately every 5 minutes, until the chest pain is relieved.
  • If the pain persists after a total of 3 tablets in a 15-minute period, or is different than you typically experience, call your doctor or seek emergency help.
  • Nitroglycerin may be used 5 to 10 minutes prior to activities that might cause chest pain.
  • You may feel a burning or tingling sensation in your mouth when you take nitroglycerin.
  • Do not breastfeed. It is not known if nitroglycerin will pass through your milk.
  • Do not consume alcohol while taking nitroglycerin, as this can lower your blood pressure.
  • Do not start any new prescription or non-prescription medicines or supplements, unless you check with your doctor first.
