nitroglycerin patch

A nitroglycerin patch is a medicated adhesive patch applied to the skin to help manage chest pain (angina) caused by heart conditions. It releases nitroglycerin, a medication that relaxes blood vessels, improving blood flow to the heart and easing discomfort. Typically worn for 12 to 14 hours, the patch provides a steady dose of medication, helping to prevent episodes of chest pain. It's essential to follow your doctor's instructions on placement and usage to maximize its effectiveness and minimize side effects, such as headaches or dizziness. Always consult with a healthcare professional for proper guidance.
