Calculations

Nitroglycerin Nitroglycerin: Pediatrics

Administration: I.V.

I.V. must be prepared in glass bottles and use special sets intended for nitroglycerin. Glass I.V. bottles and administrationsets provided by manufacturer.

Administration: I.V. Detail

Nitroglycerin can be absorbed by plastic (polyvinyl chloride) tubing or containers. Infusion pump may not infuse accurately with different tubing. Be alert to potential for unregulated flow.

pH: 3.0-6.5

Administration: Oral Sublingual: Do not crush sublingual product (tablet). Place under

tongue and allow to dissolve.

Translingual spray: Do not shake container. Release spray onto orunder tongue. Do not rinse the mouth for at least 5-10 minutes. Priming sprays should be directed away from patient and others. The end of the pump should be covered by the fluid in the bottle.

Nitrolingual®: Prime prior to first use (5 sprays into the air). If unused for 6 weeks, a single priming spray shouldbe completed.

Storage

Doses should be made in glass bottles, Excel® or PAB® containers. Adsorption occurs to soft plastic (eg, PVC). Nitroglycerin diluted in D5W or NS in glass containers is physically and chemically stable for 48 hours at room temperatureand 7 days under refrigeration. In D5W or NS in Excel®/PAB® containers it is physically and chemically stable for 24 hours atroom temperature and 14 days under refrigeration. Premixed bottles are stable according to the manufacturer's expiration dating. Store sublingual tablets and ointment in tightly closed containers at 15°C to 30°C.

Additional contraindications for I.V. product: Hypotension; uncorrected hypovolemia; inadequate cerebral circulation; constrictive pericarditis; pericardial tamponade

Allergy Considerations

Nitrate Allergy

Warnings/Precautions

Concerns related to adverse effects:

• Hypotension/bradycardia: Severe hypotension can occur; paradoxical bradycardia and increased angina pectoris can accompany hypotension. Orthostatic hypotension can also occur; ethanol can accentuate this. Use with caution in volume depletion, hypotension, and right ventricular infarctions.

Disease-related concerns:

• Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: Use with caution in patientswith hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; nitrates may reduce preload, exacerbating obstruction and cause hypotension and/or worsening of heart failure.

Concurrent drug therapy issues:

• PDE-5 inhibitors: Avoid concurrent use with PDE-5 inhibitors (eg, sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil).

Special populations:

• Pediatrics: Safety and efficacy have not been establishedin children.

Dosage form specific issues:

• Long-acting agents: Avoid use of long-acting agents in acute MI or HF; cannot easily reverse if adverse events develop.

• Transdermal patches: Patches should be removed prior to defibrillation or MRI study.

Other warnings/precautions:

• Tolerance: Appropriate dosing is needed to minimize tolerance development.

Geriatric Considerations

Caution should be used when using nitrate therapy in the elderly due to hypotension. Hypotension is enhanced in the elderly due todecreased baroreceptor response, decreased venous tone, and oftenhypovolemia (dehydration) or other hypotensive drugs.

Monitoring Parameters

Blood pressure, heart rate

Nursing: Physical Assessment/Monitoring

Assess potential for interactions with other pharmacological agents patient may be taking (eg, heparin, ergot alkaloids, sildenafil, tadalafil, or vardenafil). See Administration specifics for different formulations. Evaluate therapeutic effectiveness (cardiac status) and adverse response (eg, hypotension, arrhythmias, CNS changes, GI disturbances). Dose should be reduced gradually when discontinuing after long-term therapy. Teach patient proper use (according to purpose and formulation), possible side effects/appropriate interventions (eg, drug-free intervals; removes transdermal patches for specific period of time), and adverse symptoms to report.

Patient Education

Do not take any new medication during therapy unless approved by prescriber. Take as per directions (see below). Do not change brands without consulting prescriber. Do not discontinue abruptly. Keep medication in original container, tightly closed. If anginal chest pain is unresolved in 15 minutes, seek emergencymedical help at once. Daily use may cause dizziness or lightheadedness (use caution when driving or engaging in hazardous activities until response to drug is known); headache (consult prescriber for approved analgesic); hypotension (use care when changing position from sitting or lying to standing, when climbing stairs or when engaging in tasks that are potentially hazardous until response to drug is known); GI disturbances (small, frequent meals, frequent mouth care, chewinggum, or sucking lozenges may help). Report acute headache, rapid heartbeat, unusual restlessness or dizziness, muscular weakness, or blurred vision or seeing abnormal colors. Pregnancy/breast-feeding precautions: Inform prescriber if you are or intend to become pregnant. Consult prescriber if breast-feeding.

Oral: Take as directed. Do not chew or swallow sublingual tablets; allow to dissolve under tongue. Sit down before using sublingual or buccal tablet or spray form. Do not chew or crush extended release capsules; swallow with 8 oz of water.

Spray: Follow exact instructions in product insert. Spray directly on mucous membranes; do not inhale.

Topical: Spread prescribed amount thinly on applicator; rotate application sites.

Transdermal: Use as directed; place on hair-free area of skin, rotate sites (usually, patches will be removed for a period each day)

Mechanism of Action

Works by relaxation of smooth muscle, producing a vasodilator effect on the peripheral veins and arteries with more prominent effects on the veins. Primarily reduces cardiac oxygen demand by decreasing preload (left ventricular end-diastolic pressure); maymodestly reduce afterload; dilates coronary arteries and improvescollateral flow to ischemic regions

Pharmacodynamics/Kinetics

Onset of action: Sublingual tablet: 1-3 minutes; Translingual spray: 2 minutes; Sustained release: 20-45 minutes; Topical: 15-60 minutes; Transdermal: 40-60 minutes; I.V. drip: Immediate

Peak effect: Sublingual tablet: 4-8 minutes; Translingual spray: 4-10 minutes; Sustained release: 45-120 minutes; Topical: 30-120 minutes; Transdermal: 60-180 minutes; I.V.drip: Immediate

Duration: Sublingual tablet: 30-60 minutes; Translingual spray: 30-60 minutes; Sustained release: 4-8 hours; Topical: 2-12 hours; Transdermal: 18-24 hours; I.V. drip: 3-5 minutes

Protein binding: 60%

Metabolism: Extensive first-pass effect

Half-life elimination: 1-4 minutes

Excretion: Urine (as inactive metabolites)

Hemodynamic Support, Intravenous Hypertension Nitrates

Pharmacotherapy Pearls

I.V. preparations contain alcohol and/or propylene glycol; may need to use nitrate-free interval (10-12 hours/day) to avoid tolerance development. Tolerance may possibly be reversed with acetylcysteine; gradually decrease dose in patients receiving NTGfor prolonged period to avoid withdrawal reaction.

Concomitant use of sildenafil (Viagra®) or other phosphodiesterase-5 enzyme inhibitors (PDE-5) may precipitate acute hypotension, myocardial infarction, or death. Nitrates usedin right ventricular infarction may induce acute hypotension. Nitrate use in severe pericardial effusion may reduce cardiac filling pressure and precipitate cardiac tamponade. In the management of heart failure, the combination of isosorbide dinitrate and hydralazine confers beneficial effects on disease progression and cardiac outcomes.

Cardiovascular Considerations

Nitrates improve the balance between myocardial oxygen supply anddemand, primarily by decreasing oxygen demand. Nitrates decreasesmyocardial oxygen demand by reducing preload via dilation of peripheral veins. Nitrates improve myocardial oxygen supply by dilating epicardial coronary arteries and collateral vessels, leaving resistance vessels alone. Nitrates are unlikely to inducea coronary steal syndrome. Nitrates improve exercise tolerance instable angina patients. An adequate nitroglycerin-free period must be provided with all nitrate products to prevent nitrate tolerance from developing. In the treatment of unstable angina/non-ST-segment elevation MI, I.V. NTG is indicated for immediate relief of ischemia when sublingual nitroglycerin (tablet or spray) and intravenous beta-blocker have failed. I.V. NTG may also be of benefit in nonhypotensive high-risk patients. Caution should be observed if administering nitrates to individuals who are volume-depleted or are experiencing a right ventricular infarction. Additionally, nitrates should not be given to an individual who has received a phosphodiesterase-5 enzyme inhibitor within the past 24 hours. In a stabilized patient, intravenous nitroglycerin should be converted within 24 hours to a nonparenteral alternative in a regimen that is designed to prevent tolerance.

The 2004 STEMI guidelines suggest that healthcare providers should instruct patients, with sublingual nitroglycerin on hand, to take one dose sublingually in response to chest discomfort/pain. If chest pain is unimproved or worsening 5 minutes after the dose has been taken, the patient or family should call an ambulance. Use I.V. nitroglycerin for relief of ongoing ischemic discomfort (if S.L. nitroglycerin has been ineffective), control of hypertension, or management of pulmonary

congestion. Nitrates should not be used if hypotension limits theaddition of a beta-blocker.

Anesthesia and Critical Care Concerns/Other Considerations

Nitroglycerin 5 mg/mL contains propylene glycol 518 mg/mL (30% v/v).

In the treatment of unstable angina/non-ST-segment elevation MI, nitroglycerin (sublingual tablet or spray), followed by intravenous administration, is recommended for immediate relief of ischemia and associated symptoms. Note that nitrate use may result in significant hypotension in individuals who are volume depleted.

Nitrate use in right ventricular infarction may induce acute hypotension. Nitrate use in severe pericardial effusion may reduce cardiac filling pressure and precipitate cardiac tamponade.
