CHEST PAIN AND NITROGLYCERINE PILLS

When a patient gets anginal pain, he should stop all his activities and sit down or lie down.

Put  nitroglycerine pill under the tongue,let it dissolve completely.

Hold the saliva in mouth for 1 to 3 minutes for quick absorption of the drug.

Once this pain in chest relieved, spit out the saliva.

If the pain is not relieved even after taking three pills at an interval of five minutes call the physician or go to hospital.

Fresh nitroglycerine pills produce a slight burning sensation when placed under the tongue.

The patient who gets anginal pain should always carry with them nitroglycerine tablets.

The patient should avoid consuming alcoholic drinks after taking the pills.

These drugs should kept in their original container to prevent them losing their potency.

These drugs should be protected from light ,moisture and heat.
