NITRODERM 50 MG TRANSDERMAL PATCH 10 PCS _ WASFATY

Product Overview

Nitroderm 50 MG Transdermal Patch is a prescription medication designed for the prevention and treatment of angina pectoris, a type of chest pain caused by coronary artery disease.
This product, often recognized as Nitroderm TTS 10 mg/24h, contains 50 mg of nitroglycerin per patch, formulated to deliver 10 mg of the active ingredient over a 24-hour period through the skin.
It provides a continuous and controlled release of nitroglycerin, a potent vasodilator, to help improve blood flow to the heart and reduce cardiac workload, thereby alleviating or preventing angina attacks.

Benefits of Use

• Continuous and sustained relief from angina pectoris symptoms.
• Convenient once-daily application simplifies medication adherence.
• Non-invasive method of drug delivery, avoiding oral administration.
• Helps in the long-term prevention of angina attacks, improving quality of life.
• Provides a consistent therapeutic effect throughout the day.

How to Use

Follow these steps for proper application of Nitroderm 50 MG Transdermal Patch:
1. Ensure the skin where the patch will be applied is clean, dry, and free of hair, oils, or lotions. Common application sites include the chest, upper arm, or flank.
2. Open the pouch and remove the patch. Peel off the protective liner carefully without touching the adhesive surface.
3. Apply the patch immediately to a healthy, intact skin area, pressing firmly with your palm for about 10-20 seconds to ensure good adhesion, especially at the edges.
4. Remove the used patch after 12-16 hours, typically at bedtime, allowing a patch-free interval of 8-12 hours. This interval is crucial to prevent the development of tolerance to nitroglycerin.
5. Apply a new patch to a different skin area each day to minimize skin irritation.
6. Wash hands thoroughly after applying and removing the patch.

Caution & Warnings

• Do not use Nitroderm patches if you are allergic to nitroglycerin or any other ingredients listed in the product.
• Consult your doctor before abruptly discontinuing treatment, as sudden cessation may worsen angina symptoms.
• Be aware that headache, dizziness, and lightheadedness are common side effects, especially at the beginning of treatment or with dose adjustments.
• Absolutely do not use this medication with phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil) as it can lead to a severe and life-threatening drop in blood pressure.
• Avoid or limit alcohol consumption during treatment, as it may enhance the hypotensive effects of nitroglycerin.
• Inform your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding before using this medication.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.
• Store at room temperature as specified in the storage conditions.
