What is a GTN spray please?

[Lilian226]

I am attending a PR pre-programmes session this month and have been asked to take Salbutamol and gtn spray, not sure what the latter one is. Can anyone help please. Lilian xxxxx

Hi Lilian, GTN spray is used in the treatment of angina. Pete has it and if needs be sprays it under his tongue. Hope that helps. Xxxx

Thank you Sassy, I don't have heart problems so it wouldn't refer to me. I hope you and Pete are enjoying the weather!! Lilian xxxxxx

No Lilian, it's raining! At least it's a bit cooler now. Take care xxxxx😀

GTN , glyceryl trinitrate is for angina ,ask your doctor why you,ve got it if you don,t have heart problems ?

Thank you, I think what they meant was if I have the gtn to bring it along. Lilian xxxxx

Are you sure it does not represent gin and tonic?

(For after the exercises, of course )

That was my first thought Mrs. M, but thought I had better ask on our forum first, didn't want to arrive with inhaler and gin and tonic, if that's not what they meant. Lilian xxxxxx
