How it works

Glyceryl trinitrate is a nitrate vasodilator that relaxes blood vessels. It mainly dilates veins (reducing preload) and also dilates coronary arteries, improving blood flow to the heart and reducing the heart’s oxygen demand, thereby relieving angina.

Directions for use

Use exactly as prescribed. For angina relief, tablets are commonly used sublingually (kept under the tongue) and allowed to dissolve; do not chew or swallow unless your doctor advises oral use. Sit/lie down before taking to reduce dizziness; take at the first sign of chest pain. Follow prescribed dosing interval to avoid nitrate tolerance.
