Nitrate Tolerance
- ___ response in the presence of continuous/frequently administered nitrates
- occurs in ___ - ___ days depending on the patient, will require higher doses as time goes on
Examples:
- __ hour application of transdermal NTG
- ___ infusions of IV NTG
- ISDN administered ___ times daiy
Prevention of nitrate tolerance

- decreased
- 1-3
- 24
- continuous
- four
- 10-12
Pharmacology of Nitrate Tolerance
- ___ inactivation in mitochondria
- ISMN and ISDN also elicit tolerance but via a slower, less understood process

- elbows, knees
Patient counseling: NTG Ointment
- do not ___ ointment
- do not ___ area
- used in hospital setting, a bit easier to titrate vs patch
rub/massage
