Description
Glyceryl Trinitrate (GTN) 400mcg spray is a medication used to relieve symptoms of chest pain (angina). Here’s how you use it:
At the onset of an attack, one or two 400 microgram metered doses (sprays) should be sprayed under the tongue.
- If symptoms do not resolve, this dose may be repeated at five-minute intervals for a total of three doses (sprays).
- If symptoms have not resolved after a total of three doses (sprays), the patient should seek prompt medical attention.
- It’s important to sit down before using GTN, as you may experience headaches, flushing, or dizziness soon after use. Always keep your GTN spray with you and keep a spare one handy.
