Monit GTN 2.6 Tablet CR

Product Introduction
Monit GTN 2.6 Tablet CR is prescribed to manage and prevent chest pain related to heart conditions (angina). Angina occurs when the heart muscle does not get enough oxygen-rich blood. This medication works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, allowing better blood flow to the heart and reducing its workload.

Monit GTN 2.6 Tablet CR should be taken exactly as recommended by your doctor, at the same time every day, with or without food. It is important not to exceed the prescribed dose as taking too much may cause harmful effects. Over time, your body may get used to the medicine, which can make it less effective, so it’s crucial to follow a strict dosing schedule to prevent this.

Headaches are the most common side effect and may sometimes be intense. Drinking plenty of water and avoiding alcohol can help manage this. You may also feel dizzy or lightheaded, which can increase the risk of falling. If you experience unusual or severe side effects, consult your doctor immediately.

Avoid using this medicine if you are taking medicines for erectile dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension, or if you have conditions like severe anemia or glaucoma. Always inform your doctor about your current health issues and any other medicines you are taking. It’s best to avoid alcohol as it may worsen certain side effects. If you feel dizzy or drowsy, avoid activities such as driving. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medicine.
