Treating symptoms and providing relief from Angina Pectoris due to Coronary Artery Disease.
Treating symptoms and providing relief from Angina Pectoris due to Coronary Artery Disease.
is indicated for acute relief of an attack or prophylaxis of angina pectoris due to coronary artery disease.
Chest discomfort associated with angina pectoris may feel like pressure or squeezing in your chest. Pain caused by angina pectoris doesn’t occur just in the chest, however. The pain also can occur in your shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back. Angina pain may even feel like indigestion. It’s important to remember that angina isn't a disease. Instead, it's a symptom of an underlying heart problem, usually coronary heart disease (CHD).
Nitrolingual® Pumpspray, which treats angina pectoris, should not be used if you are allergic to nitroglycerin pumpspray or if you are using medications for erectile dysfunction such as avanafil, sildenafil, vardenafil, or tadalafil. Using Nitrolingual® Pumpspray (a nitroglycerin pumpspray) with these products may cause low blood pressure (hypotension), fainting, or heart attack.
Nitrolingual® Pumpspray should not be used if you have anemia.
Nitrolingual® Pumpspray should not be used in patients with increased intracranial pressure. Talk to your doctor if you had a cerebral hemorrhage or traumatic brain injury before taking Nitrolingual® Pumpspray.
You might develop a tolerance to this drug or to other nitrates and nitrites. Only the smallest number of doses required for effective relief of the acute angina attack should be used.
You should use nitroglycerin pumpspray with caution in the early days after a heart attack and it may aggravate the angina caused by a condition known as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Increased hypotension, mainly when standing upright, may occur even with small doses of nitroglycerin and may result in slow heart beat and increased angina. It should be used with caution if you are dehydrated due to drug therapy or if you have low blood pressure.
Headache is the most reported side effect and may be severe and persistent. Other side effects that have been reported are dizziness, numbness and tingling of the skin, drowsiness, nausea, increased heart rate.
Talk to your healthcare provider to see if Nitrolingual® is right for you.
