Nitrolingual Pumpspray is used to treat an angina. The spray may also be used to prevent an angina if used 5-10 minutes before taking part in an activity which may provoke an attack of an angina.
An Angina is a pain or uncomfortable feeling in the chest, often spreading to the arms or the neck and sometimes to the shoulders and back. This may be caused by too little blood and oxygen getting to the heart.
Nitrolingual Pumpspray belongs to a group of medicines called nitrates. It works by widening blood vessels, letting more blood and oxygen reach the heart.
Your doctor or pharmacist may have recommended Nitrolingual Pumpspray for another reason.
