Nitroglycerin patch is a medication used to treat patients with heart disease. The patch contains nitroglycerin, which is absorbed through the skin and helps dilate blood vessels, thereby increasing blood supply to the heart. This helps reduce heart pain and discomfort. Patients should use the patch correctly according to their doctor's recommendations, usually changing it once a day. During use, avoid using any cosmetics or creams on the patch area to ensure proper absorption of the medication. When using, follow your doctor's dosage instructions and do not overdose. If severe dizziness, hypotension, or other adverse reactions occur, seek medical attention immediately. Remember, nitroglycerin patches are for prescription use only and should not be shared with other people.
How to use: Apply the Glycerin Trinitrate Patch to dry, hairless skin, avoiding wrinkles. Clean and dry skin before each patch change and do not use on areas with cuts or damaged skin. The patch usually needs to be affixed to the chest or upper arm. It cannot be affixed to the same location for continuous use. It should be affixed to different parts in rotation. It is not recommended to use it in hot and humid environments to avoid the patch getting wet in the shower.
Dosage Guidelines: The starting dose for adults is usually one tablet per day, which can be increased to two tablets per day as needed, but the interval between doses should be at least 12 hours. The dosage for children should be adjusted according to the physician's instructions. Do not adjust the dosage on your own. Physician advice should be sought before long-term use to ensure appropriate dosage and usage. For elderly patients or patients with special medical conditions, dosage adjustments may be necessary to achieve optimal results. If you have any discomfort or concerns during use, you should consult a physician immediately.
