I recently started using the Nitro-Dur 0.2mg/hr Patch to manage my angina. The patch works by relaxing my blood vessels, which helps more blood and oxygen reach my heart. However, I've been experiencing some headaches and skin irritation. I've read that these are common side effects, but I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced them and how they managed them. Additionally, I'm curious about the importance of wearing the patch for a specific time each day and then removing it to prevent my body from building a tolerance to the medication. Any insights or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

I’ve never heard of this patch before. But I know that nitroglycerin can cause serious side effects, especially if not used correctly. Make sure you're following the instructions to the letter.

I had a severe allergic reaction to the patch and had to stop using it. Make sure to watch out for any signs of an allergic reaction, and if you experience any, seek medical attention immediately. It was a nightmare.

I’ve had a few episodes where the patch fell off during the day. Make sure to secure it well, especially if you’re active. This is one of the downfalls of the patch.

I'd be careful with this medication, there are many other Nitroglycerin based medications out there. My uncle had a bad reaction to Nitroglycerin, don't mess around with this stuff.

It's crucial to follow the schedule for wearing the patch. I forgot to remove the patch for a few hours one day and ended up feeling really weak and dizzy. Talk to your doctor if you think you need to adjust your schedule.
