Nitromack Retard 2.5 Mg 60 Capsules

Nitromack Retard 2.5 Mg 60 Capsules

Description:

Nitromack Retard 2.5 mg 60 capsules is a long-acting prescription cardiovascular medication containing nitroglycerin, an organic nitrate vasodilator. It is formulated in a sustained-release (retard) capsule to provide prolonged anti-anginal effect, helping prevent episodes of chest pain (angina pectoris) in patients with coronary artery disease. By relaxing and dilating blood vessels, Nitromack Retard improves blood flow to the heart muscle and reduces its workload, supporting better control of chronic stable angina under medical supervision.

Indications:

• Prevention (prophylaxis) of angina pectoris attacks in patients with coronary artery disease.
• Long-term management of chronic stable angina where a sustained-release nitrate is indicated.
• Adjunctive therapy in patients requiring maintenance nitrate treatment as part of a comprehensive cardiovascular management plan, as directed by a physician.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Nitroglycerin (glyceryl trinitrate) – 2.5 mg per sustained-release capsule.
• Other excipients: The full list of inactive ingredients (capsule shell components, fillers, release-modifying agents, colorants, preservatives) is not available in the provided information. Please refer to the printed package leaflet for complete excipient details.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use exactly as prescribed by your cardiologist or healthcare provider. Do not change the dose or frequency without medical advice.
• Typical adult dosing for prophylaxis of angina is usually 1 capsule taken orally at regular intervals; the exact dose, timing, and frequency must be individualized by the physician based on the patient’s condition and response.
• Swallow the capsule whole with a sufficient amount of water. Do not crush, chew, or open the capsule, as this will interfere with the sustained-release (retard) mechanism.
• May be taken with or without food, as directed by your doctor. Try to take it at the same time(s) each day for consistent effect.
• To reduce the risk of tolerance, your doctor may schedule a daily nitrate-free interval; follow the prescribed timing carefully.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
• This product is NOT intended for immediate relief of acute angina attacks. For sudden chest pain, use your prescribed fast-acting nitrate (e.g., sublingual tablet or spray) and seek emergency medical help if pain persists.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps prevent recurrent angina pectoris attacks by providing sustained vasodilation and improved coronary blood flow.
• Reduces myocardial oxygen demand by decreasing preload and afterload, thereby lowering the workload on the heart.
• Improves exercise tolerance and reduces chest pain episodes in patients with chronic stable angina when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
• Convenient sustained-release capsule formulation supports more stable plasma levels of nitroglycerin and may reduce dosing frequency compared to immediate-release forms.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to nitroglycerin, other organic nitrates, or any component of the formulation.
• Contraindicated in patients taking phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors for erectile dysfunction or pulmonary hypertension (e.g., sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil) due to risk of severe, potentially life-threatening hypotension.
• Contraindicated in severe hypotension, shock, marked anemia, increased intracranial pressure, or severe head trauma, unless specifically directed by a specialist.
• Use with extreme caution in patients with low blood pressure, volume depletion, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, aortic or mitral valve stenosis, or other serious cardiac conditions; close medical supervision is required.
• May cause dizziness or lightheadedness, especially when standing up quickly. Avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing tasks that require alertness until you know how the medicine affects you.
• Avoid alcohol while taking Nitromack Retard, as it can enhance blood pressure–lowering effects and increase dizziness or fainting risk.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Use only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk, as determined by your physician.
• Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, especially other blood pressure medicines, diuretics, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, antidepressants, or other vasodilators, to avoid dangerous interactions.
• Do not stop this medication abruptly without medical advice, as sudden withdrawal may worsen angina symptoms.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease outside its approved medical indications.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects: headache (often throbbing), flushing, warmth, dizziness, lightheadedness, weakness, or nausea. Headaches are a frequent effect of nitrates and may lessen with continued use; consult your doctor if severe or persistent.
• Cardiovascular effects: drop in blood pressure, orthostatic hypotension (dizziness on standing), palpitations, or reflex tachycardia may occur, especially at treatment initiation or dose increase.
• Less common side effects: skin rash, allergic reactions, dry mouth, or gastrointestinal discomfort.
• Serious side effects (seek immediate medical attention): severe or persistent chest pain, fainting, severe dizziness, very slow or very fast heartbeat, shortness of breath, bluish lips or fingers, or signs of severe allergic reaction (swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat; difficulty breathing).
• If any side effect worsens or you notice any unusual symptoms, contact your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
