Composition

Glyceryl Trinitrate / Nitroglycerin (2.6 Mg)

Gtnex 2.6 Tablet 30 is used to manage and prevent angina pectoris, a condition that causes chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart. It acts as a nitrate vasodilator, relaxing and widening blood vessels to allow more blood and oxygen to reach the heart muscle.

This medication is used as a preventive measure for angina in individuals with coronary artery disease. It is not intended for immediate relief of acute angina attacks. Consult your doctor for the correct dosage and frequency, and follow their instructions carefully for optimal results.

Gtnex 2.6 Tablet 30 is used for the long-term prevention of angina pectoris. It works by dilating blood vessels to ensure the heart muscle gets enough oxygen-rich blood, helping prevent angina attacks caused by narrowed coronary arteries.

Swallow the tablet whole with a sip of water.
Do not crush or chew the tablet.
Do not take more than your doctor has advised.
If you stop taking this medicine, please consult your doctor first.

Gtnex 2.6 Tablet 30 is taken orally.

Gtnex 2.6 Tablet 30 may cause side effects such as headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, hypotension (low blood pressure), and flushing (warmth or redness of the skin). Consult your doctor if symptoms persist.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Gtnex 2.6 Tablet 30. However, please consult your doctor if you experience severe side effects or worsening symptoms.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Dizziness: Consider taking this medicine at night if it makes you feel dizzy during the day.
Flushing: If flushing occurs after taking Gtnex 2.6 Tablet 30, try having it after meals.

The active ingredient in Gtnex 2.6 Tablet 30 is glyceryl trinitrate (2.6 mg). This component acts on your body in the following ways:

Releases nitric oxide: Glyceryl trinitrate releases nitric oxide in your body.
Dilates blood vessels: The released nitric oxide relaxes the smooth muscles of blood vessels, causing them to widen or dilate.
Improves blood flow: The dilation of blood vessels enhances blood flow to the heart.
Reduces heart workload: By improving blood flow, glyceryl trinitrate decreases the workload on your heart and reduces its oxygen demand.
Decreases angina attacks: Less strain on the heart and better blood flow ultimately reduces the severity and frequency of angina attacks.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Gtnex 2.6 Tablet 30 if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

The use of Gtnex 2.6 Tablet 30 by breastfeeding women is not recommended. Make sure to discuss this with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Alcohol

Alcohol can enhance the hypotensive effect of Gtnex 2.6 Tablet 30, meaning it can lower your blood pressure further. It's advisable to check with your doctor about safe alcohol use while on this medication.

Liver

Caution is advised while taking Gtnex 2.6 Tablet 30 in case of mild to moderate liver impairment. If you have liver problems, discuss them with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Kidney

If you have a history of any kidney problems, it's a good idea to mention them to your doctor before starting Gtnex 2.6 Tablet 30.

Using Machines & Driving

Gtnex 2.6 Tablet 30 may cause dizziness or lightheadedness, which can affect your ability to drive or operate machinery safely. Be cautious until you know how this medication affects you.

Allergy

Gtnex 2.6 Tablet 30 should not be used if you have known hypersensitivity to nitrates. Inform your doctor about any allergies before starting this medicine.
