Glyceryl trinitrate 400mcg spray is a sublingual spray that delivers glyceryl trinitrate directly through the lining of the mouth for rapid absorption. It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, improving blood flow to the heart and reducing its workload, providing quick relief from angina symptoms.
The spray may also be used before physical activity or emotional stress likely to trigger an angina attack, as advised by a healthcare professional.
