Nitroglycerin ointment, also known as Nitro-Bid, is used in adults to prevent angina, which is chest pain stemming from coronary artery disease. This medication is classified as a nitrate and functions as a vasodilator. It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, enhancing blood flow to the heart, thereby reducing stress on the heart and preventing chest pain. The ointment is applied directly to the skin twice daily—once in the morning and again six hours later. It is important to note that this medication will not relieve chest pain once it starts and should not be used immediately before physical activities to prevent chest pain. For these situations, consult your healthcare provider for appropriate alternatives. Potential side effects include headaches and low blood pressure. Currently, Nitro-Bid is available as a brand-name medication. Always speak with your healthcare provider before starting any new treatment.
