Alternative For Nitropector In U.S.A.?
My mother is 81 year old. She came in USA last year. She has an angina pectoris and she used to take nitropector for years. This medication ( known as pentaerithrityl tetranitrate in USA ) cannot be found and I would like to know the best substitute for this.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Nitropector would belong to the nitrate family of medications. They cause relaxation of the blood vessels and in this way help with angina.
There are other nitrates available that may be helpful for you such as: (1) glyceryl trinitrite, (2) isosorbide dinitrate and (3) isosorbide mononitrate
There are also other medications that can be used in angina.
It would be best for her to visit her doctor so that he or she can determine which would be best suited for her.
I hope this helps
