For Healthcare Professionals

Nitrolingual® Pumpspray (nitroglycerin lingual spray)

A nitroglycerin spray that's effective, reliable, and ready for patients when they need it.

Nitroglycerin is an important part of angina therapy.

 For patients with angina due to CAD, AHA/ACC/ACP treatment guidelines recommend the use of short-acting nitrates for acute relief and prophylaxis of angina pectoris. (1)

Nitrolingual® Pumpspray is indicated for acute relief of attack or prophylaxis of angina pectoris.

Treatment of angina patients may include:

  1. Lifestyle Changes
  2. Ace Inhibitors
  3. Ranolazine
  4. Beta Blockers
  5. Calcium Channel Blockers
  6. Statins
  7. Aspirin
  8. Nitrates

Exercise is important for cardiovascular health.

  • Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation is associated with lower total and cardiac mortality rates compared to usual medical care. (3)


  • Guidelines for CAD treatment reinforce the importance of an exercise program for patients with stable angina pectoris. (1)


  • Virtually all patients with known coronary artery disease (CAD), if stable, should engage in regular physical activity. (4)

But for some patients with CAD, exercise is a challenge.

Nitrolingual® Pumpspray is indicated for acute relief of attack or prophylaxis of angina pectoris.

 74% of patients expressed fear about exercise.

Nitrolingual® Pumpspray is indicated for acute relief of attack or prophylaxis of angina pectoris.

 85% of patients agreed that more patients would exercise if they knew their angina medication could be used as a preventive measure before exercise.

Acute Relief and Preventive Action

 

Nitrolingual® Pumpspray (nitroglycerin lingual spray) improves patients’ exercise tolerance, while addressing the acute symptoms of angina pectoris. (6)


In a dose-ranging study of patients who had previously experienced a cardiac event,

Nitrolingual Pumpspray:


  • Increased maximum exercise duration versus placebo spray (.4 mg)
  • Increased time-to-onset of clinically relevant ST-segment depression vs. placebo spray (.8 mg)
  • Increased time-to-onset of angina versus placebo spray (.4 mg)

Indications and Usage:

Nitrolingual® Pumpspray is indicated for acute relief of an attack or prophylaxis of angina pectoris due to coronary artery disease. 

Important Safety Information

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.
