Angised uses


Angised information

Angised is a medicinal product used for the treatment and prevention of angina pectoris. It is currently considered that Angised allows the blood vessel walls to relax and dilate, thus increasing the oxygen flow to the cardiac muscles.

Angised indications

Angised may be employed as a prophylactic means only against angina pectoris. Due to its slow action, this medicine is not suitable for use in the case of an acute attack. As such, your prescriber may recommend the usage of this medical product even if you are feeling well and do not have any symptoms. Also, your prescriber may advise you to use Angised for the treatment or prevention of other medical conditions that are not listed here. If you would like to obtain more information regarding the mechanism of action or possible uses of transdermal Nitroglycerine, it is best to ask your personal health care professional or a pharmacist.

Angised warnings

Angised should not be used for the treatment of patients that are allergic to Nitroglycerine or to any other ingredient of this medical product. Also, allergic reactions to the adhesives used for attaching the patches to the patient's skin have been reported - Angised should not be administered to patients that present a hypersensitivity to these adhesives.

This medicine may cause or worsen already present hypotension, especially in elderly patients. As such, special consideration should be paid to such patients that are susceptible to developing low blood pressure. Angised should be safe to use during pregnancy and lactation; however it is best that you consult your personal health care provider to determine the risks and benefits of the therapy if you are or plan to become pregnant or if you are breast-feeding a baby.

Angised intake guidelines

Your prescriber will provide you with a set of Angised application guidelines, which you should closely follow in order to attain the best therapeutic effects. In some cases, the heath care professional's directions will not coincide with the following information; in such situations it is best that you follow the intake guidelines that your physician has provided.

In order to ensure proper administration of the medicine, you will need to correctly apply the Angised patches to a clean, shaved area of skin - typically on the upper arm. Wash the area thoroughly with clean water and soap and rinse well before applying the patch. Remove any hair on the application site as it may hinder the medication delivery through the skin. Gently pat the skin dry with a soft towel and apply the Angised patch, after removing the protective cover from the adhesive areas of the patch.

If you have any questions or if you would like further details on how to properly apply the transdermal Nitroglycerine patches, it is best to consult with your personal physician.

Angised dosage

In most cases, the prescriber will direct a Angised starting dose of 0.2 to 0.4 mg per hour, increasing to maintenance doses of 0.4 to 0.8 mg per hour. The applications need to be kept on the skin for 12 to 14 hours daily allowing a 10 to 12 hour patch-off period. The duration of the therapy as well as the exact dosage will depend on a number of factors specific to each patient; it is best that you closely follow your prescriber's directions. Do not stop using the Angised patches without your physician's consent and do not employ a different dosage than you have been prescribed.

Angised overdose

Although an overdose with Nitroglycerine is a severe condition requiring immediate medical attention, it requires large doses of the substance. The Angised patches only contain a small concentration of Nitroglycerine and it is slowly released into the patient's organism; as such, an overdose with this medicine is highly unlikely as a result of your Angised therapy. However, if you have any reason to believe that you may be affected by an overdose you should immediately contact the nearest poisons center or the local hospital or clinic as you may need prompt medical assistance.

Angised missed dose

It is strongly suggested that you apply the Angised patches at around the same time every day, according to the schedule indicated by your prescriber. This will allow you to obtain the best therapeutic effects from the treatment and will reduce the chances of forgetting about any applications. However, if you forget to use one of the patches when appropriate, it is best to apply it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for another application, you should completely skip the missed Angised dose and continue using the product as usual. Do not use larger doses of the medicine in order to compensate for a missed application.

Angised side effects

In rare cases, Angised may cause a number of adverse effects in patients following a treatment with this medical product. These may include flushing, dizziness, headaches, lightheadedness or a worsening of the angina. The side effects may be mild to severe, and should be brought to the attention of your health care specialist immediately when you begin experiencing them.

Very rarely, you may experience swelling of the face, throat, lips or tongue, breathing troubles or skin affections such as rashes or hives - these are signs of an allergic reaction to the product and you should stop using the patches immediately if you notice any of these. Contact your physician as soon as possible.
