The Myonit SR 2.6 is a prolonged-release drug commonly used to prevent and treat angina (chest pain) due to coronary artery disease. The active drug component is Glyceryl Trinitrate (GTN), also called Nitroglycerin, which acts by relaxing and widening blood vessels in the heart muscle. Therefore, it is used to reduce the frequency and severity of attacks of angina by improving the supply of oxygen to the heart muscle.
Myonit SR 2.6 combines an extended-release formulation with long-lasting action. A most essential drug for chronic heart patients.
Uses of Suspension
The most common uses for Myonit SR 2.6 Tablet include the following:
- Angina (chest pain) prophylaxis: Decreasing strain on the heart to prevent episodes of angina.
- Coronary artery disease management: Improving blood flow to narrowed arteries.
- Heart failure (in adjunct therapy): To decrease workload on the heart in certain cases in heart failure.
- To control hypertension during a surgical procedure: as needed, in specific clinical scenarios.
- Post-cardiac attack care: to prevent complications for some patients with heart conditions.
Benefits
- Discourages the repeated attacks of angina: Lessens the episodes of chest pain and boosts cardiac function.
- Improves blood circulation: Dilates the blood vessels to allow a steady supply of oxygen.
- Decreases the effort of the heart: Decreases the workload on the heart for improved efficiency.
- Sustained-release: This provides a slower and more prolonged effect where the drop in blood pressure is not sudden.
- Augments exercise duration: It helps angina patients do daily activities with greater ease.
Side Effects
Although the Myonit SR 2.6 Tablet is generally safe, there may be some side effects:
- Headache: As a result of vasodilation (widening of blood vessels), this is a common side effect.
- Dizziness or lightheadedness: This is due to a decrease in blood pressure.
- Flushing (skin redness): Due to increased blood flow.
- Nausea: Some patients have mild stomach upset.
- Low blood pressure (hypotension): This may cause fainting or weakness in some people.
- Fast heart rate (tachycardia): This is a compensatory mechanism in response to low blood pressure.
Immediate medical intervention is required for the adverse reactions which include severe dizziness, blurred vision, or fainting.
How to Use
Intake should be strictly as prescribed by the attending physician. Generally taken in whole form, swallowed with a little water.
- Best taken on an empty stomach: It offers better absorption and effectiveness.

- Avoid sudden changes in posture: Stands up too fast and might make one dizzy due to a fall in blood pressure.
Note: Alcohol and other antihypertensive medications if being taken by the patient, should be avoided unless absolutely required by the doctor.
How It Works
Myonit SR 2.6 is a drug containing Glyceryl Trinitrate, which belongs to the nitrate class of drugs. It relieves angina: by greatening vasodilation, it does this by:
- Reduces the workload of the heart: Allows blood to flow more easily.
- Improved oxygen supply: Sufficient oxygen reaches the heart muscle.
- Decreases blood pressure: Helps prevent sudden angina episodes-enhancing the efficiency of the heart.
This mechanism provides long-lasting relief from angina and supports heart health.
