The most common side effect of Nitrovir 25mg Injection is a headache which may be severe. This can sometimes be helped by drinking plenty of fluids and avoiding alcohol.

How Nitrovir Injection works

Nitrovir 25mg Injection is a nitrate. It works by improving blood supply to heart and relaxing the blood vessels which decreases the oxygen demand of the heart and reduces its workload, thereby preventing/treating attacks of angina (chest pain). Relaxation of blood vessels lowers blood pressure.

Frequently asked questions

Does the effect of Nitrovir 25mg Injection wear off after sometime?

Yes, excessive use of Nitrovir 25mg Injection may cause tolerance which means that Nitrovir 25mg Injection may lose its effectiveness on you. Therefore, doctors usually prescribe the smallest dose required for effective relief of acute angina attacks. Also, it is usually prescribed in morning and afternoon doses to give nitrate-free interval. Take it strictly as per the dosing interval prescribed by your doctor to prevent tolerance and maintain the effectiveness of Nitrovir 25mg Injection.

What does too much Nitrovir 25mg Injection do?

Excess Nitrovir 25mg Injection 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.

Does Nitrovir 25mg Injection stop heart attacks?

Nitrovir 25mg Injection 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 narrow because of which the heart has to work harder to get enough oxygen. Nitrovir 25mg Injection 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.
