What is the difference between nitroglycerin and quick-acting jiuxin pills?

I believe this question is confusing to many people. Both of them have similar effects, and they are both in cardiology? Life-saving medicine? Standing medicines for patients with angina pectoris. But there are great differences between them, including use, people, preservation and composition:

Use distinction

Nitroglycerin 1 tablet (0.5mg) was taken sublingually when angina pectoris occurred. If it doesn't work, you can take it again with 1 tablet for up to 3 consecutive times with an interval of 5 minutes. It takes effect quickly when taken sublingually, but it takes effect slowly when swallowed with water, which reduces the efficacy and loses the first aid effect.

When you feel chest tightness or discomfort, please take Xiao Su Jiuxin Pills under your tongue. In case of acute attack, you can take 4 capsules to accelerate absorption first. You can chew them and take them under your tongue. If it doesn't relieve in ten minutes, you can use it again as appropriate. The maximum dosage is 10~ 15 pills.

If the quick-acting jiuxin pill is ineffective, nitroglycerin can be taken sublingually.

Population difference

Nitroglycerin is generally used for acute attack of coronary heart disease and angina pectoris, and it can take effect within 5 minutes. Nitroglycerin will appear drug resistance after long-term use. Nitroglycerin is recommended as first aid.

Quick-acting Jiuxin Pills are usually used for patients with angina pectoris and potential high-risk groups. Use it when you have angina symptoms, so carry it at any time. If it is to be used as a preventive medicine for a long time, quick-acting Jiuxin Pill is recommended. When severe hypotension or tachycardia occurs, it is suggested to switch to quick-acting Jiuxin Pills.

Save the difference

Nitroglycerin needs to be sealed and stored away from light. Although the validity period is 3 years, if the lid is opened frequently, it is likely to expire in 4~6 months.

Quick-acting jiuxin pill contains Ligusticum Chuanxiong and Borneolum Syntheticum. , containing aromatic volatile substances, can promote qi and blood circulation, so the validity period of the drug is relatively short, generally 1 year.

Therefore, in order to ensure the first-aid effect of these two life-saving drugs, it is recommended to change the drugs with new dates regularly.

Composition difference

One Chinese medicine and one western medicine, nitroglycerin, have very clear pharmacological effects. Its main function is to rapidly dilate peripheral blood vessels and reduce the burden on the heart. Xiao Su Jiuxin Pill is different. Except Chuanxiong and Borneolum Syntheticum, other components are unclear, and their pharmacological effects are unclear, but they have the functions of promoting qi circulation, promoting blood circulation, relieving pain and improving blood microcirculation. Judging from the clinical application, Xiao Su Jiuxin Pill has fewer adverse reactions.

The above is the difference between the two drugs. Remember one thing: if the symptoms are not relieved after taking the medicine, seek medical advice immediately! Chest pain and chest tightness for more than 20 minutes, there is the possibility of myocardial infarction!
