Frequently asked questions

Can I take sildenafil if I am taking Nitrocam Tablet CR?

No, you should not take sildenafil if you are taking Nitrocam Tablet CR. Taking these two medicines together can cause an excessive fall in blood pressure, which may even be life-threatening.

What effect does Nitrocam Tablet CR have on blood pressure?

Nitrocam Tablet CR decreases the blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels, but is not recommended for the treatment of high blood pressure. The drop in blood pressure may cause lightheadedness, especially when changing your position suddenly.

Does the effect of Nitrocam Tablet CR wear off after some time?

Yes, excessive use of Nitrocam Tablet CR may cause tolerance, which means that Nitrocam Tablet CR may lose its effectiveness on you. Therefore, usually the doctors prescribe the smallest dose required for effective relief of an acute angina attack. This helps maintain the effectiveness of Nitrocam Tablet CR.

What does too much Nitrocam Tablet CR do?

Excess Nitrocam Tablet CR may result in low blood pressure, sweating, nausea, vomiting, headache, weak and fast pulse. It may also cause weakness, lightheadedness on standing, and the patient might even faint. The patient will require emergency medical treatment in such a case.

Can I stop using Nitrocam Tablet CR as I feel better now?

Stopping Nitrocam Tablet CR suddenly may bring on attacks of angina, especially if you have been using it for several weeks or more. Talk to your doctor, who will advise you to reduce the dose gradually over 4 to 6 weeks before you stop using it completely.

Does Nitrocam Tablet CR stop heart attacks?

Nitrocam Tablet CR is prescribed to prevent attacks of heart-related chest pain (angina) in patients with coronary artery disease. In this disease, the blood vessels (coronary arteries) that supply blood to the heart become narrowed, because of which the heart has to work harder to get enough oxygen. Nitrocam Tablet CR prevents angina by relaxing the blood vessels so that the heart does not have to work very hard. Also, relaxation of the coronary arteries increases the oxygen supply to the heart.
