Uses of Nitroprin Tablet
Benefits of Nitroprin Tablet
In Angina (heart-related chest pain)
Nitroprin Tablet relaxes the blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily around your body and makes sure that your heart is getting a good supply of oxygen. This makes it less likely that you will suffer chest pain caused by angina. Besides, it also contains a blood thinner, Aspirin, that prevents the formation of blood clots and also prevents the existing ones from growing bigger in size. This helps the blood flow freely around your body thereby preventing a heart attack or stroke (or deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism).
This medicine can help increase your ability to exercise and go about your daily life more easily by reducing the frequency of angina attacks. You should take it regularly and as long as it is prescribed for it to work effectively.

FAQs
What is Nitroprin Tablet used for?
Nitroprin Tablet is used to prevent angina pectoris (heart-related chest pain) in people with coronary artery disease. It is formulated to reduce the frequency of angina attacks and lower the risk of future heart attacks and strokes.<br>
Can I take Nitroprin Tablet when I am having an angina attack?
No, Nitroprin Tablet is not for immediate relief of an ongoing angina attack. It works too slowly for that. This medicine is a long-term, preventive treatment that you must take every day to reduce the number of angina attacks you have. For an acute attack, you will need a faster-acting medication.<br>
I get a headache when I take Nitroprin Tablet. Is that normal?
Yes, a headache is a very common side effect of Nitroprin Tablet, especially when you first start taking this medication. This is because the isosorbide mononitrate component in Nitroprin Tablet widens the blood vessels, including those in your head. This side effect usually lessens or goes away completely as your body gets used to the medication over a few days.<br>
Does Nitroprin Tablet increase my risk of bleeding?
yes, the aspirin component of Nitroprin Tablet thins the blood, which can increase your risk of bleeding. You should be extra careful when shaving, using sharp objects, or playing contact sports. Let your doctor and dentist know you are taking this medication before any surgical or dental procedures.
Can I stop taking Nitroprin Tablet if I feel better and my chest pain is gone?
No, you must not stop taking Nitroprin Tablet suddenly without talking to your doctor first. This is a long-term preventive treatment. Stopping it abruptly could increase your risk of having a heart attack or severe angina attacks.<br>
What should I tell my doctor before I start taking Nitroprin Tablet?
Before you start taking Nitroprin Tablet, it is very important to inform your doctor if you have a history of bleeding disorders, stomach ulcers, severe anemia, or liver or kidney disease. Also, you must not take this medication if you are taking medicine for erectile dysfunction, as this can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.<br>
