Nitrocontin 2.6 Tablet is used to treat and prevent angina (chest pain) by relaxing and widening blood vessels, improving blood flow to the heart.

Apart from its primary use, this tablet also prevents angina before physical exertion or stress and manages acute angina attacks. It's also used for the long-term management of chronic stable angina, which occurs when the blood vessels supplying your heart muscle narrow, causing a lack of oxygen that triggers pain.

Before you start taking this medicine, consult your doctor to get the correct dosage and frequency tailored to your health condition. If you experience any side effects while on this medication, notify your doctor immediately. For optimal results, continue taking the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Nitrocontin 2.6 Tablet is used to treat and prevent angina, including acute attacks and long-term control of chronic stable angina. It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, improving blood flow to the heart, and alleviating chest pain caused by insufficient oxygen supply to the heart muscle.

Follow these instructions while taking Nitrocontin 2.6 Tablet:

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
Avoid crushing or chewing the tablet.
Do not adjust your dose or stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor.
Try to take your doses at the same times each day to maintain consistent levels of the medicine in your body.

Nitrocontin 2.6 Tablet may have the following common side effects:

Headache
Lightheadedness or dizziness
Flushing
Low blood pressure
Fast heartbeat
Nausea and vomiting

Managing the Side Effects:

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

Flushing: You might find this effect less bothersome if you take this medicine at night.
Nausea and vomiting: Try taking Nitrocontin 2.6 Tablet with food to lessen this effect.

Nitrocontin 2.6 Tablet contains nitroglycerin (2.6 mg), which acts on your body through specific mechanisms:

Conversion into Nitric Oxide: Glyceryl trinitrate converts into nitric oxide (NO) in the smooth muscles of your blood vessels.
Activation of Guanylate Cyclase: The produced nitric oxide activates an enzyme called guanylate cyclase in these muscles.
Production of cGMP: Activated guanylate cyclase results in increased levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP).
Relaxation and Dilation of Blood Vessels: The increased cGMP causes relaxation and dilation of the vascular smooth muscle, including in the coronary arteries that supply your heart muscle.
Reduced Cardiac Workload: Vessel dilation increases blood flow to the heart and reduces cardiac workload and oxygen demand, thereby effectively managing angina.
