What is Nitro-Bid?

Nitro-Bid is a prescription drug that helps prevent angina, or chest pain, in patients diagnosed with coronary artery disease. The active ingredient in Nitro-Bid is nitroglycerin, a drug that widens blood vessels to improve the flow of blood and oxygen to the heart. Nitro-Bid is often prescribed to prevent exercise-induced angina.

Nitro-Bid is an ointment and is applied to the skin in a thin layer once in the morning and once six hours later. Over the course of its six-hour application, the nitroglycerin in Nitro-Bid is slowly absorbed into the body through the skin, providing continuous prevention of angina. The amount and rate of nitroglycerin absorption will depend on the type of skin and the total area it is applied to, but differences won't be great.

The human body develops tolerance for nitroglycerin very quickly. Typically, if nitroglycerin is taken for longer than 24 hours, its effects at preventing angina nearly disappear. For this reason, the standard treatment of using nitroglycerin to prevent angina is to take the drug for 12 hours followed by a 12-hour rest from the drug.

What are the side effects of Nitro-Bid?

The most common side effects of Nitro-Bid are headache, weakness, dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea, rapid heartbeat, and flushing. Nitro-Bid can cause severe headaches which may become less severe over time. Your doctor will prescribe a pain medication for the headaches. The most serious side effect of Nitro-Bid is low blood pressure. Allergic reactions to Nitro-Bid are uncommon and are usually site reactions to the ointment such as rash, hives, itching, and swelling.

Nitro-Bid is toxic to children and pets and so must be kept out of their reach.
