What is Nitroglycerin?

Nitroglycerin rapidly relieves or prevents acute chest pain (angina) in patients with coronary artery disease, a condition in which the arteries that supply blood to the heart are too narrow due to plaque buildup. When the heart does not receive enough oxygen, you feel chest pain. Nitroglycerin belongs to a family of drugs called vasodilators that widen blood vessels and so allow more blood and oxygen to flow to the heart.

Nitroglycerin is taken during angina episodes, and it is vitally important that it enters the bloodstream quickly. For this reason, it is available in rapid release formulas, such as sublingual tablets, mouth sprays, and injections. Extended-release capsules, and transdermal patches steadily release Nitroglycerin into the system to keep heart arteries dilated to prevent angina.

Nitroglycerin rectal ointment is used to relieve anal fissures, which are tears in the lining of the anus. Nitroglycerin relieves the pain of anal fissures by relaxing the blood vessels and so reducing pressure in the anus.

What are the side effects of Nitroglycerin?

The most common side effects of Nitroglycerin are headache, weakness, dizziness, lightheadedness, tingling, and flushing. Nitroglycerin can cause severe headaches which may become less severe over time. Your doctor may prescribe a pain medication for the headaches if needed, but the headaches usually go away as your body gets used to Nitroglycerin.

Rare but serious side effects of Nitroglycerin may include low blood pressure, fainting, and severely inflamed skin.

Allergic reactions to Nitroglycerin are uncommon and may include swelling, drug rash, or trouble breathing. If these symptoms occur, get emergency medical help immediately. 

Nitroglycerin is toxic to children and pets and so must be kept out of their reach.
