Dear Ask The Doctor: HOW OFTEN CAN YOU TAKE NITRO GLYCERIN FL?? HOW FAR APART IN TIME WISE?CAN TOU TAKE NITRO EVERY 5 MINUTES UP TO 15 MINUTES. MY FRIEND HAS A SCRIPT THT SAYS UP TO THREE DOSES IN A SPAN OF 15 MINUTES.....IS THAT RIGHT??? Dear RICHARD: The recommended sublingual dose of Nitroglycerin is 0.2-0.6 mg every 5 minutes for maximum of 3 doses in 15 minutes, for the treatment of angina pectoris. It may also be used as a preventative therapy, 5-10 minutes prior to activities which may provoke an angina attack. |
