Brief summary
The intracoronary administration of 200 to 400 mcg of nitroglycerin is recommended before a cinecoronariography to prevent spontaneous or catheter induced spasms and to dilate the epicardic arteries and so optimize the quantification of coronary stenosis. When nitroglycerin is administrated intracoronaryly it enlarges the diameter of the coronary arteries in 10-20%, with minor enlargement in segments with major stenosis. The sublingual propatylnitrate, before the coronariography, can be an alternative to the intracoronary nitroglycerin. The main advantage of this alternative is the simplicity of the administration. However, there is no information about the coronary vasodilator effect of sublingual propatylnitrate. The objective of this project is to compare the vasodilator effect of two formulations, the reference and the generics, of sublingual propatylnitrate during the coronariography.
Interventions
The study has 3 arms and are going to evaluate 2 doses of a propatylnitrate generic formulation (10mg and 20mg) comparing to a propatylnitrate reference formulation (10mg). generic propatylnitrate 10mg administrated in sublingual route, 1 tablet during coronariography. generic propatylnitrate 20mg administrated in sublingual route, 1 tablet during coronariography. generic propatylnitrate means that the active drug is the same from reference propatylnitrate but it will be manufactured by other company. Since the propatylnitrate pharmacokinetics does not allow to calculate bioequivalence study it was decided together with Ministry of Helath to conduct a phase III-B study.
