Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Minitran Overview
Minitran is used to prevent chest pain (angina) in people with a certain heart condition (coronary artery disease). Nitroglycerin belongs to a class of drugs known as nitrates. Angina occurs when the heart muscle is not getting enough blood. Minitran works by relaxing and widening blood vessels so blood can flow more easily to the heart. Minitran will not relieve chest pain once it occurs. It is also not intended to be used just before physical activities (such as exercise, sexual activity) to prevent chest pain. Other medications may be needed in these situations. Consult your doctor for more details.
How to Use Minitran
Read the Patient Information Leaflet available from your pharmacist. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions. Remove the patch from its pouch, and peel off the protective clear liner as directed. Usually, you will wear the patch on the upper arm or chest. However, you can wear it anywhere on the body below the neck and above the knees or elbows. Apply the patch to a clean, dry, and hairless area. Hair in the area may be clipped, but not shaved. Avoid areas with cuts or irritation. Do not apply the patch immediately after bathing or showering. Wait until your skin is completely dry. However, you may bathe, shower, and swim while wearing the patch. Press the patch firmly in place with the palm of your hand. Wash your hands after applying the patch. You will usually use 1 patch a day and wear it for 12 to 14 hours or as directed by your doctor. The Dosage of Minitran is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. To reduce skin irritation, apply each new patch to a different area of skin. After removing the old patch, fold it in half with the sticky sides together, and discard out of reach of children and pets. Use Minitran regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same time each day. Do not suddenly stop using Minitran without consulting your doctor. Some conditions may become worse when the drug is suddenly stopped. Your dose may need to be gradually decreased. Although unlikely, when Minitran is used for a long time, it may not work as well and may require different dosing. Tell your doctor if Minitran stops working well (for example, you have worsening chest pain or it occurs more often).
