3 years now wrote:the side effect is headache and light headedness. Nitro lowers blood pressure, causing those "minor" side effects. I was told it gets better as your body adjust to it.
I am on day 2 with the nitro, using my finger to get some up there. This is fun isn't it??
splinterboy to answer your question on cost: I live in Canada, the nitro has to be made by a compounding pharmacy - it cost me $33 canadian dollars for a tube of it. I can expense it back through my employer.
I'm from Canada too (Ontario) My Gastro Doctor prescribed me a compound made of 0.2% nitroglycerine and 5% Xylocaine. It cost me about $44.00 dollars, I dont have a plan, not working.
My Doctor states that I apply a pea size amount to anus (just that, not inside) at bed-time.
