A nitroglycerin tablet is placed under the tongue during an episode of angina or chest pain, as it helps to quickly relieve the pain by dilating blood vessels and improving blood flow to the heart. The sublingual administration allows for rapid absorption into the bloodstream. It's crucial to follow the prescribed dosage and instructions from a healthcare provider. If symptoms persist after using the tablet, medical attention should be sought immediately.
