Observations with Nitromint aerosol in everyday clinical practice.

Abstract

Nitromint aerosol has been used for controlling 464 attacks of 116 angina pectoris patients in emergency cases. The anti-anginous effect of the sublingual spray developed very rapidly and only caused mild-moderate unwanted effects, which commonly accompany the administration of nitroglycerin. In a comparison of the spray with the sublingual tablet, the majority of the patients found the aerosol more favourable. In addition to its anti-anginous action, the drug is an absolutely necessary means in emergency cases such as cardiac asthma and left ventricular failure.
