Nitro-Nick: An effective remedy for the treatment of heart diseases

In the modern world, cardiovascular diseases remain one of the most common causes of death. Among the various drugs used to treat such diseases, nitrates and nitrites occupy a special place. One of the most famous and widely used drugs in this group is Nitro-Nik.

Nitro-Nik is produced in Russia by Nik-pharm and TsNKB FSUE. Its active substance is nitroglycerin, a widely known international name, which also has a number of synonyms, such as Gilustenone, Deponit, Nitrangin and others.

The dosage form of Nitro-Nika is presented in the form of tablets containing 6.5 mg of nitroglycerin. This drug is used to treat a variety of conditions, including angina (including Prinzmetal's angina), acute myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, controlled hypotension during surgery, and central retinal artery occlusion.

However, like any medical drug, Nitro-Nik has its contraindications. It is not recommended for use in cases of hypersensitivity to nitroglycerin, hypotension, collapse, myocardial infarction with severe hypotension or collapse, as well as in the presence of other conditions such as cerebral hemorrhage, increased intracranial pressure, cerebral ischemia, cardiac tamponade, toxic pulmonary edema, severe aortic stenosis and angle-closure glaucoma.

It is important to note that Nitro-Nic may cause side effects including headache, dizziness, palpitations, hypotension and collapse. Contact dermatitis may also occur when using transdermal forms of the drug. In case of overdose, symptoms such as headache, dizziness, palpitations, nausea and vomiting, hypotension, increased sweating and others may occur.

Nitro-Nik may interact with other drugs, including antihypertensives, antiadrenergic drugs, vasodilators, calcium channel blockers, tricyclic antidepressants, MAO inhibitors, ethanol, quinidine and procainamide. When these drugs are used together, the risk of hypotension and other adverse effects may increase.

The dosage of Nitro-Nika depends on the specific condition of the patient and the doctor’s recommendations. The tablets are taken under the tongue or between the gum and cheek, without chewing or swallowing. If symptoms of angina pectoris appear, the patient can take one tablet and repeat if necessary after 5-10 minutes. In case of acute myocardial infarction, it is recommended to immediately consult a doctor or call an ambulance.

Nitro-Nik is an effective remedy for the treatment of heart diseases, especially in cases of angina pectoris and acute myocardial infarction. However, before starting to use this drug, you must consult your doctor and strictly follow his recommendations, since improper use or self-medication can lead to undesirable consequences.
