Nitrolingual Pump Spray 400mcg 200 Dose

**For the treatment and prophylaxis of angina pectoris and the treatment of variant angina diagnosed by your Doctor.**

Nitrolingual is a sublingual spray which means that you use it under your tongue. The active ingredient is called glyceryl trinitrate or GTN for short. GTN is one of a group of medicines called ‘nitrates’. These relax the muscles around the blood vessels and make it easier for the heart to do its work. Nitrolingual helps stop the pain of angina (pain in your chest, arms or neck especially when you exert yourself). You can also use the medicine immediately before doing things which you know will cause you angina pain.

Before you use a new bottle of Nitrolingual, spray the first puff into the air to get the pump working properly. You must also do this if you have not used the pump for a week or more. Get used to the feel of the grooved button in case you need to use the pump in the dark.

• Rest or sit quietly, as you may feel faint or dizzy otherwise, particularly if you are elderly.
• Hold the bottle upright with your finger on the button. You don’t need to shake the bottle.
• Open your mouth and put the bottle next to your chin (see picture).
• Press the button firmly so that the puff of medicine goes under your tongue (see picture). Close your mouth.
• Do not breathe in while you are taking the puff of medicine
