Nitrolingual Pumpspray (Glyceryl Trinitrate Sprays) used

Nitrolingual Pumpspray (Glyceryl Trinitrate Sprays) is used to treat acute attacks of angina pectoris to relieve symptoms including chest pain and breathlessness on exertion; also for prophylaxis to prevent an angina in response to activities or situation known to trigger angina, like physical effort, emotional stress or exposure to cold. Using Nitrolingual Pumpspray (Glyceryl Trinitrate Sprays) 5-10 minutes before embarking on a trigger situation will help manage angina and prevent acute symptoms. Angina is usually an indication of coronary heart disease (CHD) cause by clogged arteries in the heart (atherosclerosis). Nitrolingual Pumpspray (Glyceryl Trinitrate Sprays) is intended for sublingual use and is absorbed through the skin under the tongue so that it takes effect rapidly within a few minutes, to relieve or prevent symptoms of angina.

Nitrolingual Pumpspray (Glyceryl Trinitrate Sprays) work

Nitrolingual Pumpspray (Glyceryl Trinitrate Sprays) contains glyceryl trinitrate (or nitroglycerine), a potent vasodilator used to relax and widen peripheral arteries and veins, to reduce and relieve symptoms of acute angina. Angina is caused by insufficient blood to the heart due to a reduction of blood flow. This is usually caused by narrowing of the arteries of the heart (coronary arteries) because of a blockage due to deposition of cholesterol in the vessel walls (atherosclerosis). Glyceryl trinitrate in Nitrolingual Pumpspray (Glyceryl Trinitrate Sprays) is converted to nitric oxide in the blood vessel walls and this acts directly on the vascular smooth muscle (in the blood vessel walls) causing them to dilate and widen. This action reduces the resistance to blood flow in the peripheral veins and arteries which means that the heart does not need to work so hard to pump blood, reducing its workload and also the need for oxygen. Glyceryl trinitrate in Nitrolingual Pumpspray (Glyceryl Trinitrate Sprays) also causes widening of the coronary arteries, which helps get more oxygen to the heart muscle and relieves symptoms of acute angina attack including pain in the chest, referred pain to the arms or neck and breathlessness on exertion. Glyceryl trinitrate in Nitrolingual Pumpspray (Glyceryl Trinitrate Sprays) is absorbed through the lining of the mouth under the tongue directly into the blood, to provide rapid relief from angina symptoms.
