| NITRATES AND ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION DRUGS- Technicians- | watch for patients who get prescription for nirates (should not use with nirates) and ED drugs T |
| NITRATES AND ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION DRUGS 2- sidenafil (Viagra,Revatio)- | can be used to reduce blood pressure T |
| NITROGLYCERIN- | drug of choice for ACUTE ATTACK of angina, TAKEN SUBLINGUALLY, 3 DOSES is the MAXIMUM AMOUNT DURING ACUTE ATTACK T |
