Generic Name: Nitrostat (nitroglycerin)
Nitrostat Reviews
For Angina "My cardiologist recommended this drug to relieve shortness of breath at night due to atrial fibrillation. The sublingual 0.4 mg tablet gives a slight burning sensation under the tongue, which is not uncomfortable. A slight headache was felt on the forehead but was of short duration. The immediate dilation of the blood vessels achieves relief within one minute. Very positive results."
For Angina "There should be a warning on this, not to take while driving. Can make you extremely dizzy, spaced out, eye pain, etc."
For Heart Failure "This has changed my life. When I feel chest pressure or squeezing and/or shortness of breath, I put a 0.4 under my tongue, and voila, all is well. I highly recommend this medicine."
