What is Nitro-Dur Patch (Nitroglycerin) prescribed for?

Angina occurs when the heart is not gaining enough blood, thus causing chest pains. This medication is used to prevent these chest pains in patients with a heart condition known as coronary artery disease. Nitroglycerin belongs to a class of drugs known as nitrates. And this medication works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels so blood may flow at a much easier pace on its way to the heart.

This medication will not relieve the chest pain once it occurs. It is also not to be used before any physical activities such as exercise or sexual activity. Doing so will not prevent the chest pain. Other medications may be needed for these scenarios. Speak with your doctor for further details.
