You can develop tolerance to this medicine over time, which means that the same dose becomes less effective. You have to stick to a really specific dosing schedule to prevent this from happening.

The most common side effect of this medicine include nausea, headache, flushing, nausea, itching, and reddening of skin after the patch has been taken off. There are other, rarer side effects, some of them serious. Ask your doctor and read the leaflet which comes with the medicine to make sure you are keeping safe.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, excessive use of Nitroderm TTS 5 Transdermal Patch may cause tolerance which means that Nitroderm TTS 5 Transdermal Patch may lose its effectiveness on you. Therefore, usually the doctors prescribe the smallest dose required for effective relief of acute angina attack. This helps maintain the effectiveness of Nitroderm TTS 5 Transdermal Patch. While using Nitroderm TTS 5 Transdermal Patch patches, it is best to take it off for 8 to 12 hours of every 24 hours. This will help maintain the effectiveness of Nitroderm TTS 5 Transdermal Patch.
Nitroderm TTS 5 Transdermal Patch decreases the blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels, but is not recommended for the treatment of high blood pressure. The drop in blood pressure may cause lightheadedness, especially when changing your position suddenly.
Excess use of Nitroderm TTS 5 Transdermal Patch may result in low blood pressure, sweating, nausea, vomiting, headache, weak and fast pulse. It may also cause weakness, lightheadedness on standing and the patient might even faint. The patient will require emergency medical treatment in such a case.
Nitroderm TTS 5 Transdermal Patch 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. Nitroderm TTS 5 Transdermal Patch 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.
No, you should not take Nitroderm TTS 5 Transdermal Patch if you have taken sildenafil. Taking these two medicines together may increase the risk of excessive fall in blood pressure, which is hazardous. Maintain a gap of at least 24 hours if you have to use Nitroderm TTS 5 Transdermal Patch after taking sildenafil.
