What is Minitran?
Minitran (nitroglycerin patch) is a brand-name medication used to prevent angina pectoris, a type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. It contains nitroglycerin, which belongs to a group of drugs called nitrates.
Minitran is available as a transdermal patch that delivers nitroglycerin through the skin into the bloodstream over time. This steady delivery helps reduce the frequency of angina attacks but is not intended for the immediate relief of chest pain once it has started.

Important information about Minitran
The active ingredient in Minitran is nitroglycerin.
Nitroglycerin is a nitrate that acts as a vasodilator.
The mechanism of action includes:
Relaxing smooth muscle in blood vessels.
Dilating veins and arteries to improve blood flow.
Reducing the amount of work the heart needs to pump blood.
By improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure, Minitran helps prevent angina attacks and reduces strain on the heart.
Follow all directions given to you by your doctor and read all documents provided, including the full Prescribing Information, FDA-Approved Product Labeling, Instructions for Use, and Medication Guide before using Minitran. However, the following is a synopsis of the general guidelines for the use of Minitran:
- Apply the Minitran patch exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
- Place the patch on a clean, dry, and hairless area of skin, such as the upper arm or chest.
- Press the patch firmly with the sticky side against the skin.
- Rotate application sites to avoid skin irritation.
- Wear the patch for the prescribed period, usually with a daily nitrate-free interval.
- Remove the old patch before applying a new one.
- Wash your hands after handling the patch.
- Do not cut or alter the patch, and avoid applying it to irritated or damaged skin.
Some mild or common side effects of Minitran seen in clinical trials as compared to placebo include:
- Headache.
- Lightheadedness or dizziness.
- Skin irritation at the application site.
- Flushing.
- Severe headaches.
Some individuals may experience serious side effects while using Minitran. These side effects may require immediate medical attention. If you experience any of the following, contact your healthcare provider or seek emergency medical help:
- Severe hypotension (low blood pressure).
- Fainting or syncope.
- Rapid or irregular heartbeat.
- Severe allergic reaction, including hives or swelling.
- Chest pain that worsens or does not improve.
These are not all of the possible side effects of Minitran. You should always seek medical advice from your healthcare provider for any questions or concerns about your medical condition or treatment. Read all patient information, medication guides, or drug information sheets that come with this medication. You can also report adverse
Before starting Minitran, it is crucial to discuss any existing health conditions with your healthcare provider. You should be sure that your healthcare provider is aware of all your medical conditions, including if you have:
- Low blood pressure or a history of severe hypotension.
- High blood pressure.
- Heart problems such as heart failure or a recent heart attack.
- Head injury or increased pressure in the brain.
- Anemia or low blood volume.
- Minitran may cause dizziness or lightheadedness, especially when standing up quickly.

Minitran should not be used in patients who have:
- Hypersensitivity to nitroglycerin or other nitrates.
- Severe anemia.
- Increased intracranial pressure.
- Concurrent use of certain medications for erectile dysfunction.
Your healthcare provider will determine whether this medication is safe for you.
Minitran begins delivering nitroglycerin after the patch is applied, but it is used for prevention rather than immediate relief of angina.
It may take several hours to achieve steady effects, and consistent use helps reduce the frequency of angina attacks.
When Minitran is taken with other prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and supplements, it may change how they work or increase the frequency or severity of side effects. Make sure that you tell your healthcare professional about anything that you are taking to avoid any negative drug interactions, including:
- Sildenafil, tadalafil, or vardenafil, which may cause severe hypotension when combined.
- Riociguat, which may increase risk of dangerously low blood pressure.
- Dihydroergotamine or ergotamine, which may reduce the effectiveness of nitroglycerin.
- Tricyclic antidepressants, which may enhance blood pressure-lowering effects.
- Antihypertensive medications such as beta-blockers, diuretics, or ACE inhibitors, which may increase risk of low blood pressure.
- Healthcare providers may adjust therapy or monitor closely when these drugs are used together.
Minitran is available as a transdermal nitroglycerin patch in different strengths.
The typical starting dose is 1 patch (ranging from 0.2 mg/hr to 0.4 mg/hr) applied to the skin once daily for 12 to 14 hours, then taken off for 10 to 12 hours.
It should be stored at room temperature, away from the reach of children or pets.
Minitran is manufactured by Graceway Pharmaceuticals.
Yes, nitroglycerin transdermal patches are available as generic medications.
Do not stop using Minitran without consulting your healthcare provider. Stopping suddenly may increase the risk of angina attacks.
Talk to your doctor if you are already pregnant or if you have any plans to become pregnant. Your healthcare provider will determine if this medication is appropriate.
Talk to your doctor if you are already breastfeeding or if you have any plans to breastfeed. Your healthcare provider will determine if this medication is appropriate. It is unsure if this medication passes through the breast milk.
