Medical Description

Nitravet is used to manage epilepsy (fits). Treatment of anxiety disorders and insomnia are other uses of Nitravet. Seizures are caused by a chemical alteration in brain cells (neurons) that causes a sudden spike of electrical activity in the brain, followed by jerky movements of the limbs or other parts of the body. Nitravet Tablet is a fast-acting medication that induces sleep quickly. This medicine provides a relaxing effect. Nitravet also helps alleviate transitory insomnia (sleeplessness) caused by anxiety disorders. As a result, it should be taken before bedtime. Daytime sleepiness, loss of coordination, nightmares, headache, light-headedness, or dizziness are all possible side effects of Nitravet. Most of these side effects do not require medical treatment. However, if the side effects persist, contact the doctor. Talk to concerned doctors to know Nitravet interaction with food and other medicines.
