1. WHAT GLYTRIN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Your medicine is called Glytrin.
It is a sublingual (under the tongue) aerosol spray that contains the
active ingredient glyceryl trinitrate. Glyceryl trinitrate belongs to
a
group of medicines called nitrates that relax the muscle walls of
the blood vessels and reduce the workload of the heart.
Glytrin is used to treat angina at the onset of an attack. It is also
used for the prevention of angina, which can be brought on from
physical effort, emotional stress, and exposure to cold, etc.
