be induced by exercise. Possible side effects of GTN include throbbing headache,
flushed face, dizziness and feeling faint.
Administration
GTN SPRAY
400-microgram/200 dose aerosol. Spray into the mouth under the
tongue, keeping the spray button down until the entire dose has been released.
(Tablets, lozenges and patches are also found in the kits.)
