Nitrocontin 2.6 MG Description

Nitrocontin 2.6 tablet is a medication used to prevent chest pain caused by blockages in the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart. Its active component is glyceryl trinitrate/nitroglycerin, which acts as a vasodilator to widen and relax the heart's blood vessels. This reduces pressure on the heart, making it easier to pump blood.

You should take this medicine exactly as advised by your doctor. Take this medicine at the same time every day to gain optimum benefits. Other medications that contain glyceryl trinitrate/nitroglycerin as an active component include Nitrolong CR tablet, Monit GTN tablet, GTN Sorbitrate CR tablet, Myonit SR tablet and Angiwell tablet.

You should never stop taking this medicine on your own without consulting your doctor, as it may increase your risk of heart-related complications. Inform your doctor about all your medical conditions and medication history.
