Product Introduction
Nitroplus 25mg injection contains the active ingredient nitroglycerin, which is a nitrate-class medicine. It is used in various conditions including heart failure and acute myocardial infarction. It is also effective in treating angina attacks and can help lower blood pressure during surgery. Additionally, it is used to control blood pressure during and after cardiac surgery, providing vital support to the heart. This medicine works by relaxing the muscles around blood vessels; it eases the heart's workload and provides relief from angina pain.
Do not take this medicine if you are allergic to nitroglycerin or any other nitrates or if you are taking medication for erectile dysfunction such as sildenafil, vardenafil, or tadalafil. Combining Nitroplus 25mg injection with these medicines can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure, leading to collapse and even fatality.
Avoid using this medicine if you are in shock or have severe anaemia, low blood pressure, low blood volume, or low blood oxygen. It is also not recommended if you have certain heart conditions, fluid accumulation in the lung, or a history of head injuries or cerebral haemorrhage. Additionally, if you are using riociguat for treating pulmonary hypertension, avoid taking this medicine.
Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you have certain heart conditions such as acute left-sided heart failure or heart attack, liver or kidney problems, thyroid issues, hypothermia, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. It is advised not to be used in children.
