Glyceryl Trinitrate Actavis Dosage/Direction for Use

Always take Glyceryl Trinitrate tablets exactly as advised by the doctor. If the patient is not sure, check with the doctor or pharmacist.
Do not swallow the tablets.
Doses: Adult: Take the tablets sat down when taking to stop angina pectoris. 1 tablet should be placed under the tongue and allowed to dissolve slowly; this dose should be repeated after 5 minutes if symptoms are not relieved. If pain persists after a total of 3 doses in 15 minutes the patient should seek medical advice immediately.
Older people: When taking to prevent or stop angina pectoris take the tablets sat down to reduce possible fainting or low blood pressure.
The doctor will change the dose to suit the patient's condition. If the patient notices that the tablets are not working as well at relieving pain as they have done, the patient should contact the pharmacist or doctor. If the patient needs more tablets than before to help, the patient should tell the doctor who will advise what to do.
