Patient Information – Nitrolingual Pumpspray
Indicated for the relief of angina pectoris (chest pain associated with coronary artery disease), Nitrolingual Pumpspray (nitroglycerin lingual spray) contains 400 mcg per spray and comes in 60- or 200-metered-spray bottles. Use this product as directed by your physician. Do not share or give your medications to others. Before using your Nitrolingual Pumpspray, please read the directions for use.
Nitroglycerin is absorbed by the tongue and lining of the mouth, producing a prompt therapeutic effect. It is recommended to use Nitrolingual Pumpspray in a sitting position.
For Home and On-the-Go
If you are an angina sufferer, it is important to keep nitroglycerin readily available at all times. Nitrolingual Pumpspray is available in 60- and 200-metered-spray bottles. Some patients prefer to have two bottles of Nitrolingual Pumpspray prescribed; one bottle for travel or on-the-go, and one bottle at home in a key location. You may want to ask your healthcare professional to prescribe two 60-metered-spray bottles instead of one 200-metered-spray bottle.
Whether your lifestyle is simple or extremely active, Nitrolingual Pumpspray is a convenient option. It is:
- Small, compact, and easy to carry
- Simple to use and convenient
