MYONIT INSTA

MYONIT INSTA (Glyceryl Trinitrate) is a type of nitrate used in the symptomatic relief of angina. Its mode of action involves affecting the veins to make them wider. The active ingredient in these tablets is what`s known as a prodrug, meaning that it is inactive when administered. After metabolization, it is then converted into NO (nitric oxide), the active form and a type of short acting nitrate vasodilator. It works by causing the arteries to become dilated (wider) and reducing pressure inside the veins, thereby relieving some of the strain on the heart.

This allows for a decrease in oxygen consumption by the heart. It can also cause the arteries inside the heart to become wider, so as to facilitate an increased supply of oxygen. If the amount of oxygen supplied to the heart is not sufficient (which can commonly occur due to the increased strain put on the heart when exercising), an angina attack can occur. By allowing for more oxygen to reach the heart, this medicine can effectively treat the pain that occurs during an angina attack. It may also be taken for angina pectoris prophylaxis. Other uses include treating coronary artery spasms.

MYONIT INSTA (Glyceryl Trinitrate) is provided as tablets with a medicine content of 0.5mg. However, the medication is not to be swallowed whole. As it is a special sublingual tablet, it must be placed directly under the tongue where it will slowly dissolve. The medicine will then be quickly absorbed, due to the fact that there are many blood vessels on the tongue. This makes it effective at providing fast relief from the symptoms of an angina attack.

Your physician will provide you with instructions on how much medicine to take each time as well as the maximum dosage. In some cases, adjustments may be necessary, however you must not change your dosage unless following the instructions of your physician. Consult your physician if the medicine is not as effective as before.

Certain tablets used to treat erectile dysfunction may cause a serious drop in blood pressure and a potentially fatal interaction and must not be taken alongside this medicine. This includes some of the most popular medicines used for ED which have vasodilator effects. If you suffer from erectile problems, you must discuss safer alternative treatment options with your physician.
