Glyceryl trinitrate
(GTN)
GTN comes
as tablets or sprays. You take a dose under your tongue as required when your
angina pain develops. GTN is absorbed quickly into the bloodstream, from under
the tongue. A dose works to ease the pain within a minute or so.You should
always carry your GTN spray or tablets with you.
How long people with chest pain should wait before calling an
ambulance is a question familiar to general practitioners and emergency
doctors.
The British Heart Foundation advises patients with known ischaemic heart disease that chest pain that lasts more than 15 minutes is probably a heart attack.2 Within this time patients are advised to use their glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) spray three times at five minute intervals before calling an ambulance.
