Q. Can I stop using Nitro 2.6mg Tablet SR as I feel better now?
Stopping Nitro 2.6mg Tablet SR suddenly may bring on attacks of angina, especially if you have been using it for several weeks or more. Talk to your doctor who will advise you to reduce the dose gradually over 4 to 6 weeks before you stop using it completely.
Q. Does Nitro 2.6mg Tablet SR stop heart attacks?
Nitro 2.6mg Tablet SR is prescribed to prevent attacks of heart-related chest pain (angina) in patients with coronary artery disease. In this disease the blood vessels (coronary arteries) which supply blood to the heart become narrowed because of which the heart has to work harder to get enough oxygen. Nitro 2.6mg Tablet SR prevents angina by relaxing the blood vessels so that the heart does not have to work very hard. Also, relaxation of coronary arteries increases the oxygen supply to the heart.
