  3. Discreet delivery. If approved, your treatment is dispensed and delivered discreetly.

Who Is It For

GTN (glyceryl trinitrate) spray is used to relieve or prevent angina symptoms and is generally intended for people who already have a confirmed diagnosis of angina from their doctor. It is not a treatment to start without proper assessment. Because angina is a sign of underlying heart disease, ongoing care with your GP or specialist is essential, and any change in your symptoms should be reviewed promptly.

FAQ

How is a GTN spray used? GTN spray is typically used under the tongue to relieve an angina attack or before activity that may bring one on. Always follow the instructions you have been given and the patient information leaflet.

When should I call for emergency help? If chest pain does not ease after using your spray as advised, or if symptoms are severe or different from your usual angina, seek emergency medical help straight away, as this could indicate a heart attack.

Can I start GTN spray without a diagnosis? No. Angina needs to be diagnosed and managed by a doctor. This treatment is for people who already have a confirmed diagnosis and an established care plan.
