Nitrolingual® Pumpspray is designed with ease of use in mind. A simple push of the grooved button provides consistent dosing with each spray onto or under the tongue. One spray of Nitrolingual® Pumpspray onto or under the tongue provides you with a dose of 0.4 mg of nitroglycerin.
Before using Nitrolingual® Pumpspray for the first time, the pump must be sprayed five times into the air (this is known as priming). The pump should be primed every six weeks to remain ready for use. If the product has not been used for six weeks, a prime of one spray is necessary.
Nitrolingual® Pumpspray is indicated for acute relief of an attack or prophylaxis of angina pectoris due to coronary artery disease.
Nitrolingual® Pumpspray should not be used if you are allergic to nitroglycerin or if you are using medications for erectile dysfunction such as avanafil, sildenafil, vardenafil, or tadalafil. Using Nitrolingual® 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 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.
