1. WHAT NITRONAL
®
IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Nitronal
®
contains glyceryl trinitrate (GTN). GTN belongs to a group of
medicines called nitrates,
which relax the muscle around blood vessels and make the heart’s
work easier.
Nitronal
®
is a medicine which is only used in hospitals. It is used in three
conditions:
–
in heart failure
–
in angina
–
to lower the blood pressure during surgery.
All patients given Nitronal
®
are monitored very carefully.
2. BEFORE YOU TAKE NITRONAL

Glyceryl trinitrate 1 mg/ml.

4. Clinical particulars
4.1 Therapeutic indications
(1) Unresponsive congestive heart failure, including that secondary to
acute myocardial infarction.
(2) Refractory unstable angina pectoris and coronary insufficiency,
including Prinzmetal's angina.
(3) Control of hypertensive episodes and / or myocardial ischaemia
during and after cardiac surgery. For
the induction of controlled hypotension for surgery.
4.2 Posology and method of administration
For intravenous use. Nitronal® should be administered by means of a
micro-drip set infusion pump or
similar device which permits maintenance of constant infusion rate.
_Adults and the elderly _- the dose should be titrated against the
individual clinical response.
(1) Unresponsive congestive heart failure. The normal dose range is
10-100 micrograms / minute
administered as a continuous intravenous infusion with frequent
monitoring of blood pressure and heart
rate. The infusion should be started at the lower rate and increased
cautiously until the desired clinical
response is achieved. Other haemodynamic measurements are extremely
important in monitoring
response to the drug: These may include pulmonary capillary wedge
pressure, cardiac output and
precordial electrocardiogram depending on the clinical picture.
(2) Refractory unstable angina pectoris. An initial infusion rate of
10-15 micrograms / minute is
recommended; this may be increased cautiously in increments of 5-10
micrograms until either relief of
angina is achieved, headache prevents further increase in dose, or the
mean arterial pressure falls by more
than 20 mm Hg.
(3) Use in surgery. An initial infusion rate of 25 micrograms / minute
is recommended; this should be
increased gradually until the desired systolic arterial pressure is
attained. T
