Nitro-Bid Ointment


Generic Name: Nitroglycerin Ointment (nye-troe-GLI-ser-in)
Brand Name: Nitro-Bid

Nitro-Bid Ointment is used for:

Preventing chest pain due to heart disease. It also may be used for certain conditions as determined by your doctor.

Nitro-Bid Ointment is a nitrate vasodilator. It works by relaxing blood vessels in the body, which allows them to widen (dilate). This allows more blood to flow through the blood vessels easier, which reduces the workload on the heart.

Do NOT use Nitro-Bid Ointment if:

  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Nitro-Bid Ointment
  • you are currently taking a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor (eg, sildenafil)

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Before using Nitro-Bid Ointment:

Some medical conditions may interact with Nitro-Bid Ointment. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

  • if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
  • if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
  • if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
  • if you have bleeding in the brain or have had a recent head injury
  • if you have heart problems, severe anemia, an overactive thyroid, or low blood pressure

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Nitro-Bid Ointment. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:

  • Calcium channel blockers (eg, verapamil) or phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (eg, sildenafil) because side effects, such as low blood pressure, may occur
  • Alteplase because the effectiveness of Nitro-Bid Ointment may be decreased

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Nitro-Bid Ointment may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
