Think of GoNitro as the Powder Form of Sublingual Nitroglycerin Tabs

November 2016

You'll see GoNitro (goh-NYE-troh), a new sublingual nitroglycerin 0.4 mg POWDER...for acute chest pain or "angina."

Think of it as the powder form of nitroglycerin tabs (Nitrostat, etc) or spray (Nitrolingual Pumpspray, NitroMist, etc).

They are all administered under the tongue...and work within 2 to 5 minutes.
