Anti hemorrhoids - Nitro-Bid [Nitroglycerin] Ointment

Nitro-Bid Ointment [Nitroglycerin] is a topical medication that is prescribed for preventing chronic chest pain caused by angina, a heart disease. This medication belongs to the class of drugs called nitrates and it relaxes the blood vessels on application. When a patient gets chest pain, the heart requires more oxygen to function. By relaxing the blood vessels, the blood is allowed to flow more easily. This causes reduction in the workload of the heart and therefore leads to a reduction in the heart’s need of oxygen. Chest pain thus gets prevented.

Nitro-Bid Ointment [Nitroglycerin] is not meant to be used in case an attack of angina has already started. It should be used as prevention.

Each pack of the medication comes with applicators. The ointment gets absorbed easily when these applicators are used. To apply, the applicator should be kept on a dry flat surface. The necessary amount of the medication should be squeezed on it. Now the applicator should be placed on the area of the body that is required. The instruction of the doctor as to the amount of the medication to be used and the number of dosages required should be strictly followed.
