NITROglycerine Patch Standard Times – To reduce tolerance, it is generally recommended that NITROglycerine patches be applied for no longer than 12 – 14 hours a day, with a 10 – 12 hour patch-free period. It was approved for a standard administration time to be 9 am, and removal time to be 9 pm. If an order is received prior to 7 pm, the patch would be applied until 9 pm and then removed, and re-applied at 9 am the next day.  If the order is processed at 7 pm or after, the dose should be deferred until the next morning.  Now orders will be dispensed as written.
