CompositionNitrolong 6.4 Tablet CR is used for the long-term prevention of angina pectoris, the chest pain that occurs when heart muscle receives insufficient blood supply in coronary artery disease. It helps reduce the frequency and severity of angina attacks.
It contains nitroglycerin (glyceryl trinitrate) in a controlled-release form, which belongs to the class of nitrate vasodilators. Swallow the tablet whole as prescribed; do not crush or chew it. Take it regularly as directed to maintain consistent protection.
Adopting heart-healthy lifestyle habits supports treatment alongside this medicine. These include consuming a low-saturated-fat diet, staying active as advised by your doctor, quitting smoking, and maintaining a healthy weight.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have low blood pressure, severe anaemia, or recent heart problems. Nitrates must never be taken with erectile dysfunction medicines (such as sildenafil), as this can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Stand up slowly from sitting or lying down to reduce dizziness.
