FAQs
Does the effect of Top Nitro 10mg Transdermal Patch wear off after sometime?
Yes, excessive use of Top Nitro 10mg Transdermal Patch may cause tolerance which means that Top Nitro 10mg Transdermal Patch may lose its effectiveness on you. Therefore, usually the doctors prescribe the smallest dose required for effective relief of acute angina attack. This helps maintain the effectiveness of Top Nitro 10mg Transdermal Patch. While using Top Nitro 10mg Transdermal Patch patches, it is best to take it off for 8 to 12 hours of every 24 hours. This will help maintain the effectiveness of Top Nitro 10mg Transdermal Patch.
What effect does Top Nitro 10mg Transdermal Patch have on blood pressure?
Top Nitro 10mg Transdermal Patch decreases the blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels, but is not recommended for the treatment of high blood pressure. The drop in blood pressure may cause lightheadedness, especially when changing your position suddenly.
What does too much use of Top Nitro 10mg Transdermal Patch do?
Excess use of Top Nitro 10mg Transdermal Patch may result in low blood pressure, sweating, nausea, vomiting, headache, weak and fast pulse. It may also cause weakness, lightheadedness on standing and the patient might even faint. The patient will require emergency medical treatment in such a case.
Does Top Nitro 10mg Transdermal Patch stop heart attacks?
Top Nitro 10mg Transdermal Patch is prescribed to prevent attacks of heart-related chest pain (angina) in patients with coronary artery disease. In this disease the blood vessels (coronary arteries) which supply blood to the heart become narrowed because of which the heart has to work harder to get enough oxygen. Top Nitro 10mg Transdermal Patch prevents angina by relaxing the blood vessels so that the heart does not have to work very hard. Also, relaxation of coronary arteries increases the oxygen supply to the heart.
Can I take sildenafil if I am taking Top Nitro 10mg Transdermal Patch?
No, you should not take Top Nitro 10mg Transdermal Patch if you have taken sildenafil. Taking these two medicines together may increase the risk of excessive fall in blood pressure, which is hazardous. Maintain a gap of at least 24 hours if you have to use Top Nitro 10mg Transdermal Patch after taking sildenafil.
