Key Features:
- Rapid Relief: The translingual spray delivers nitroglycerin directly to the bloodstream through the mucous membranes in the mouth, providing rapid relief from angina symptoms within minutes.
- Precise Dosing: Each spray delivers a consistent dose of 0.4 mg of nitroglycerin, ensuring accurate and reliable administration with every use.
- Convenient and Portable: The compact and portable spray bottle is easy to carry, allowing patients to have their medication readily available whenever and wherever they need it.
- Easy to Use: The spray is simple to administer, making it suitable for patients who may have difficulty with other forms of medication. The translingual application bypasses the digestive system, ensuring quick absorption.
- Effective Management: Nitroglycerin works by relaxing the blood vessels, increasing blood flow to the heart muscle, and reducing the heart's workload, effectively managing and preventing angina attacks.
- Metered Spray: The metered-dose spray ensures uniform delivery of nitroglycerin, reducing the risk of over- or under-dosing.
- Long Shelf Life: The solution is formulated for stability, providing a long shelf life and ensuring the medication remains effective until the expiration date.
- Suitable for Emergency Use: Ideal for emergency situations, the spray can be administered quickly to alleviate severe chest pain, providing critical support until medical help is available.
Usage Instructions:
- Prime the Spray: Before first use, prime the spray by pressing the actuator 5 times to ensure it is ready for use.
- Administer the Dose: At the onset of an angina attack, spray one metered dose (0.4 mg) under the tongue. Do not inhale or swallow the spray.
- Wait and Repeat if Necessary: Wait 5 minutes. If angina persists, a second dose can be administered. A total of 3 doses can be used within a 15-minute period. If chest pain continues after 3 doses, seek immediate medical attention.
- Store Properly: Keep the spray bottle in an upright position and store it at room temperature, away from heat and direct sunlight.
Safety Precautions:
- Consult a Healthcare Provider: Use only under the guidance of a healthcare provider. Ensure your provider is aware of all medications and medical conditions before using nitroglycerin.
- Avoid Overuse: Do not exceed the recommended dose. Overuse can lead to severe hypotension (low blood pressure) and other serious side effects.
- Monitor for Side Effects: Common side effects include headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, and flushing. If severe side effects occur, contact a healthcare provider immediately.
- Avoid Certain Activities: Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how the medication affects you, as it can cause dizziness or lightheadedness.
Contraindications:
- Avoid Concurrent Use with PDE5 Inhibitors: Do not use nitroglycerin with medications for erectile dysfunction (such as sildenafil, tadalafil, or vardenafil) as this can cause severe hypotension.
- Hypersensitivity: Do not use if you have a known hypersensitivity to nitroglycerin or other nitrates.
Storage Instructions:
- Keep Out of Reach of Children: Store the medication in a secure place away from children and pets.
- Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not expose the spray to extreme heat or cold. Store at room temperature for optimal stability.
