NITRODERM-TTS-PATCHES

Nitroderm-TTS-Patches Information

Nitroderm-TTS-Patches is a pharmaceutical product containing Nitroglycerine, a medicine that acts upon the circulatory system by relaxing the blood vessels allowing them to dilate, and thus allowing the blood to circulate more easily through the veins and arteries. This leads to a larger quantity of oxygen reaching the tissues, which in turn relieves several symptoms caused by affections such as chest angina.

Nitroderm-TTS-Patches Indications

Nitroderm-TTS-Patches are most commonly employed for the prevention of chest angina – however the effect of this medical product is too slow to be effective in the case of angina attacks. As such, it may only be used as a prophylactic agent for this medical condition. Nitroderm-TTS-Patches may also be used in combination with other medication for the treatment of patients suffering from heart failure that do not respond to conventional therapy. Your physician may opt to prescribe this product for the treatment of other medical affections which are not listed here as well. If you are not suffering from any of the above conditions and would like to receive further information regarding your Nitroderm-TTS-Patches prescription, it is best to ask your personal health care professional as he or she may offer more details on why you should start a treatment course with this medicine.

Nitroderm-TTS-Patches Warnings

Nitroderm-TTS-Patches may not be employed in the case of patients that are suffering from severe anemia, glaucoma, increased cranial pressure due to tumors, stroke or accidents, heart inflammation or heart valve disorders or if the patient is suffering from an allergy to Nitroglycerine or other nitrates.

Special precautions should be taken if Nitroderm-TTS-Patches are used for the treatment of individuals that are affected by heart, lung or liver disorders, circulatory problems or hypotension or of individuals that have recently had stroke, heart attack or head injury. This medicine may not be safe to use during pregnancy or breast feeding – if you are pregnant or nursing a baby you should discuss with your personal physician the benefits and the risks of a therapy with Nitroderm-TTS-Patches.

It is especially important to monitor the patient’s blood pressure in the case of elderly patients and individuals that are susceptible to developing hypotension – this medical product may cause or aggravate the drop in blood pressure that these patients may suffer from.

Nitroderm-TTS-Patches Intake Guidelines

In order to properly apply the Nitroderm-TTS-Patches, you should first choose an area of skin that is suitable for the application (the upper arms or the chest are recommended). Remove any excess hair on the area by clipping it – do not shave the area before applying the patch. It is also best that you thoroughly wash the skin with clean water and soap, and pat it dry with a soft towel. It is advised that you do not use any lotions, creams or pharmaceutical products on the area of skin that will be covered by the patch before the application. You should change the skin area where you apply the Nitroderm-TTS-Patches regularly, and you should allow a few days before using another patch on the same region.

If you have any questions or if you do not understand any of the Nitroderm-TTS-Patches application guidelines, it is best to ask a pharmacist or a doctor for further explanations.

Nitroderm-TTS-Patches Dosage

In most cases, the prescribing health care specialist will direct the use of a single small patch per day at the beginning of the therapy, and will increase the dosage after a few days. You should closely follow your physician’s directions regarding the Nitroderm-TTS-Patches dosage and therapy duration as these are determined based on a number of factors that are specific to your situation. You should not employ the use of this medical product for longer periods of time than prescribed and you should not stop using the Nitroderm-TTS-Patches without first consulting with your prescriber.

However, if you remember about the missed dose almost in time for another application of the product, it is advised that you completely skip using the missed one and continue applying the patches as scheduled. You should not use more than one patch at a time and you should not apply the patches more often than prescribed by your physician, unless he or she specifically states that you should do so.
