Glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) spray is primarily used to relieve angina pectoris, a type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. When administered, GTN dilates blood vessels, improving blood flow and oxygen delivery to the heart muscle. This vasodilation also helps to lower blood pressure and reduces the heart's workload. As a result, GTN spray alleviates the symptoms of angina and can provide quick relief during episodes of chest pain.

Would a GTN spray be referred to as PRN medication?

Yes, in the US and most other countries GTN (also known as Nitroglycerin) spray is prescription only. A physician would typically prescribe the spray to an individual who has a cardiovascular disease and instruct them when to use it - most often not as a regular daily medication but in case of chest pain. Most emergency clinics would also have it on standing order from an MD and so other healthcare workers such as nurses and paramedics can also apply it in emergencies. GTN is a safe medication when used correctly. But there are contraindications to using it such as anemia, glaucoma, bleeding in the brain and use of certain other medications. So it should only be used under advice from a physician.

How many puffs of gtn spray should you give in an emergency?

In an emergency, such as a suspected angina attack, a typical recommendation is to administer one puff of nitroglycerin (GTN) spray under the tongue. If symptoms persist after five minutes, a second puff may be given, and if pain continues after another five minutes, a third puff can be administered. However, it's crucial to seek emergency medical help if symptoms do not improve after the first dose. Always follow specific medical advice and guidelines provided by healthcare professionals.
