Uses of Nitroplus 25 MG Injection

What is it prescribed for?
Angina pectoris
Angina is chest pain or discomfort caused when your heart muscle doesn’t get enough oxygen-rich blood. The symptoms are pressure, tightness, or heaviness in your chest. It can be sudden or recur over time. Nitroplus 25 MG Injection may prevent and treat chest pain by widening blood vessels and improving the supply of blood and oxygen to your heart.
Hypertension during surgeries
Hypertension is a condition in which there is an increase in your blood pressure. Nitroplus 25 MG Injection may reduce the blood pressure by widening blood vessels and improving the heart rate. This medicine may be given to you to control your blood pressure before major surgeries.
Heart attack
A heart attack is when the blood supply to your heart gets blocked due to clot formation. Its symptoms are tightness or pain in the chest, neck, back or arms, anxiety, fatigue, lightheadedness, etc. Nitroplus 25 MG Injection widens your blood vessels and improves the blood flow to your heart. Thus, it helps in preventing heart attacks.
