Product introduction

Myonit Insta Tablet is used to treat chest pain and also to promote healing of skin tear in the back passage

Uses of Myonit Sublingual tablet

Benefits of Myonit Sublingual tablet

In Treatment of Angina (heart-related chest pain)

Myonit Insta Tablet helps in prevention as well as treatment of angina. Angina is a chest pain that is usually caused by narrowing of the blood vessels which supply your heart. This means your heart does not get enough oxygen. Myonit Insta Tablet works quickly to relax the muscles and blood vessels in your heart so more blood (and oxygen) gets to your heart. This reduces the pain and discomfort that angina causes.
You should take this medicine at the first sign of chest pain. If the first tablet does not work, you can take a second tablet after 5 minutes. However, if your chest pain does not go away after 15 minutes, you should get urgent medical attention. This could be a sign of a heart attack. Myonit Insta Tablet also helps prevent chest pain if taken before exercising or doing other strenuous activities.

FAQs

How long does it take for Myonit Insta Tablet to act?

Myonit Insta Tablet starts working very quickly. If the medicine is kept under the tongue, the effect starts 1-3 minutes later and reaches its maximum within 5 minutes.

What effect does Myonit Insta Tablet have on blood pressure?

Myonit Insta Tablet decreases the blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels, but is not recommended for the treatment of high blood pressure. The drop in blood pressure may cause lightheadedness, especially when changing your position suddenly.

Does the effect of Myonit Insta Tablet wear off after sometime?

Yes, excessive use of Myonit Insta Tablet may cause tolerance which means that Myonit Insta Tablet may lose its effectiveness on you. Therefore, usually the doctors prescribe the smallest dose required for effective relief of acute angina attack. This helps maintain the effectiveness of Myonit Insta Tablet.

What does too much Myonit Insta Tablet do?

Excess Myonit Insta Tablet may result in low blood pressure, sweating, nausea, vomiting, headache, weak and fast pulse. It may also cause weakness, lightheadedness on standing and the patient might even faint. The patient will require emergency medical treatment in such a case.

Can I stop using Myonit Insta Tablet as I feel better now?

Stopping Myonit Insta Tablet suddenly may bring on attacks of angina, especially if you have been using it for several weeks or more. Talk to your doctor who will advise you to reduce the dose gradually over 4 to 6 weeks before you stop using it completely.

Does Myonit Insta Tablet stop heart attacks?

Myonit Insta Tablet is prescribed to prevent attacks of heart-related chest pain (angina) in patients with coronary artery disease. In this disease the blood vessels (coronary arteries) which supply blood to the heart become narrowed because of which the heart has to work harder to get enough oxygen. Myonit Insta Tablet prevents angina by relaxing the blood vessels so that the heart does not have to work very hard. Also, relaxation of coronary arteries increases the oxygen supply to the heart.

Can I take sildenafil if I am taking Myonit Insta Tablet?

No, you should not take Myonit Insta Tablet if you have taken sildenafil. Taking these two medicines together may increase the risk of excessive fall in blood pressure, which is hazardous. Maintain a gap of at least 24 hours if you have to use Myonit Insta Tablet after taking sildenafil.
