Nitro Dur Patches (Nitrogylcerin) - Transdermal Patch Nitro Dur Patches are used to treat the symptoms of angina (chest pain). Nitro Dur Patches are used to treat angina in three ways: 1. to relieve an attack that is occurring by using the medicine when the attack begins; 2. to prevent attacks from occurring by using the medicine just before an attack is expected to occur; or 3. to reduce the number of attacks that occur by using the medicine regularly on a long-term basis. What are Nitro Dur Patches used for? Nitro Dur Patches are used to prevent and treat angina pectoris (suffocating chest pain). This condition occurs when the coronary arteries become constricted and are not able to carry sufficient oxygen to the heart muscle. Nitro Dur Patches are thought to improve oxygen flow by relaxing the walls of arteries and veins, thus allowing them to dilate. Nitro Dur can be used in different forms such as a patch or ointment. The Nitro Dur Patches and the ointment are for prevention of chest pain. Nitro Dur is also available in a capsule or tablet form to help prevent chest pain from occurring. In the form of sublingual (held under the tongue) or buccal (held in the cheek) tablets, or in oral spray (sprayed on or under the tongue), Nitro Dur Patches helps relieve chest pain that has already occurred. The Nitro Dur spray can also prevent anginal pain. The type of Nitro Dur you use will depend on your condition.
