Product Description
Monit GTN 2.6 Tablet CR is a medication primarily used to treat and prevent angina, a type of chest pain that occurs when the heart muscle does not receive enough blood. This condition can result from narrowed blood vessels, leading to reduced oxygen supply to the heart.
Key Ingredients
- Nitroglycerin (2.6 mg): A nitrate that relaxes and widens blood vessels, enhancing blood flow to the heart and reducing the workload on the heart.
Key Benefits
- Effective Angina Management: Monit GTN helps relieve and prevent episodes of angina by improving blood flow to the heart, thus alleviating chest pain.
- Rapid Action: The medication works quickly to relax blood vessels, making it effective for immediate relief during an angina attack.
- Prevention: Taking Monit GTN before engaging in strenuous activities can help prevent angina episodes.
Directions for Use
- Dosage: Follow the dosage prescribed by your doctor. Do not exceed the recommended dose, as doing so may lead to tolerance or adverse effects.
- Administration: Can be taken with or without food. It’s advisable to take it at the same time each day for consistent effectiveness.
- During an Angina Attack: If chest pain occurs, take the tablet at the first sign. If symptoms persist after 15 minutes, seek immediate medical attention.
