A member asked:
What happens if you apply the nitroglycerin patch and get positive results within the first few minutes, but after a short?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May Adjust Rx: Nitroglycerin is a medication known for what's called "tachyphylaxis" which simply means the effect of the medication wears off over time. Usually, this is a problem after using the medication for a long time. There are different way to administer nitroglycerin and different medications that might be used depending on your medical problem. Consult your doctor soon!
