About Nitrovir 25 mg Injection 5 ml

Nitrovir 25 mg Injection 5 ml belongs to the class of anti-anginal medication, primarily used for treating angina pectoris and myocardial infarction. Nitrovir 25 mg Injection 5 ml can also use to control intraoperative blood pressure. Angina occurs when the heart does not get a sufficient amount of oxygen. A heart attack (myocardial infarction or MI) is a critical medical emergency in which the blood supply to the heart is suddenly cut off.

Nitrovir 25 mg Injection 5 ml contains nitroglycerin, a natural vasodilator that works by relaxing the blood vessels (veins and arteries). This boosts the blood supply to your heart, allowing more oxygen to reach your heart muscles and reducing chest pain. Thus, it prevents and treats various heart conditions.

Nitrovir 25 mg Injection 5 ml is administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. Sometimes, you may experience headaches, hypotension, tachycardia (fast heart rate), dyspnea (shortness of breath), dizziness, light-headedness, and blurred vision as side effects. Most of these side effects are temporary, do not require medical attention, and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic or hypersensitive to any component present in Nitrovir 25 mg Injection 5 ml. If you are pregnant, suspect you are pregnant, plan to have a baby, or if you are breastfeeding, inform your doctor before receiving this medicine; your doctor will prescribe Nitrovir 25 mg Injection 5 ml only if the benefits outweigh the risk.
