Nitrostat Information:
Nitrostat (generic name: Nitroglycerin) is a drug which is prescribed for the treatment or prevention of attacks of chest pain (angina). Nitroglycerin is in a group of drugs called nitrates. Nitroglycerin dilates (widens) blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow through them and easier for the heart to pump. Nitrostat is effective within 3-5 minutes of taking the medication, and can last for up to 25 minutes after taking the medication to relieve angina. Angina occurs when not enough blood can get to the heart carrying the oxygen that the heart needs to work properly. Angina can be triggered by various activities such as smoking, excessive drinking and exertion (exercise). Angina is a common syndrome, particularly among older people, especially those aged over 65 years.
