Nitrolingual Pumpspray 200 Dose

Nitrolingual Pumpspray - Fast relief is a key to living with angina pectoris. If you suffer from angina, you know that the security of having a way to treat your symptoms right away is very important. Nitrolingual Pumpspray can give fast, reliable relief in less than a minute.

Angina pectoris is the medical term for chest pain or discomfort usually due to coronary artery disease (CAD). Angina is a symptom of a condition called myocardial ischemia. This symptom is felt when the heart muscle doesn’t get as much blood or oxygen as it needs, usually because the arteries have become narrowed or blocked. When this happens, it can cause an uncomfortable pressure, fullness, squeezing, or pain in the centre of the chest. Discomfort also may be felt in the neck, jaw, shoulder, back, or arm.

Other Symptoms

Sometimes angina can be accompanied by shortness of breath, nausea, dizziness, or tiredness. Some people may break into a cold sweat, or feel their heart pounding. The discomfort usually develops gradually, without a sudden sharp pain. Without treatment, the pain can subside within about 20 minutes.

How to Use Nitrolingual Pumpspray:

Before using this product for the first time, the pump must be sprayed 5 times into the air (this is known as priming). The pump should be primed every 6 weeks to remain ready for use. If the product has not been used for 6 weeks, a prime of 1 spray is necessary.

4. Open the mouth and bring the container as close to it as possible.
5. Press the button firmly with the forefinger to release the spray onto or under the tongue. Do not inhale the spray.
6. Release button and close mouth. Avoid swallowing immediately after administering the spray. The medication should not be expectorated or the mouth rinsed for 5 to 10 minutes following administration.
7. If you require a second administration to obtain relief, repeat steps 4, 5, and 6.
8. Replace the plastic cover.

Recommened dosage for Nitrolingual Pumpspray:

During an anginal attack, one or two sprays should be administered into your mouth, preferably onto or under the tongue. Do not inhale spray. The medication should not be expectorated or the mouth rinsed for 5 to 10 minutes following administration. A spray may be repeated approximately every 3-5 minutes as needed. No more than three metered sprays are recommended within a 15-minute period. If chest pain persists, prompt medical attention is recommended.

Nitrolingual Pumpspray may be used 5 to 10 minutes prior to engaging in activities which might provoke an acute attack. There are approximately 60 or 200 metered sprays of nitroglycerin per Nitrolingual Pumpspray bottle. However, the number of times the medication may be used is dependent on the number of sprays per use (1 or 2 sprays), and frequency of repriming.

Each metered spray of Nitrolingual Pumpspray delivers 400 mcg of nitroglycerin after an initial priming of 5 sprays. The container will remain adequately primed for 6 weeks. If the medication is not used within 6 weeks, it can be adequately reprimed with 1 spray. Longer storage periods without use may require up to 5 repriming sprays.

Each spray of Nitrolingual Pumpspray contains:

400 micrograms glyceryl trinitrate. The bottle of 200 doses contains ethanol (20%), coconut oil, medium-chain partial glycerides, peppermint oil.
