Drug UsesNitroglycerin is used for preventing chest pain caused by heart disease. It may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.
How to useUse Nitroglycerin as directed by your doctor.
- Do not crush, chew, or swallow the tablet, or place it under the tongue.
- Place tablet(s) under the upper lip or between the gum and cheek and allow it to dissolve slowly over a 3 to 5 hour period or as directed by your health care provider. If you wear dentures, place the tablet between the cheek and gum above the denture plate. Touching the tablets with the tongue or drinking hot liquids will help the tablets dissolve faster.
- If you accidentally swallow a tablet, replace it with another one, unless otherwise advised by your doctor.
