- Instruction for Use
-
To get used to handling the Nitrolingual® Spray and to ensure that the dosing chamber is completely filled for initial use, firstly prime the valve and spray the contents into the air until liquid appears (fully depress the spray nozzle quickly and then release). This may also be required if the spray has not been used for a long time.
- You should preferably be sitting down.
- Remove the protective cap.
- Hold the bottle upright with your finger on the spray nozzle. Do not shake the spray before use.
- Open your mouth and place the bottle as close to your chin as possible.
- Whilst holding your breath, press on the spray nozzle, so that the spray containing the active substance goes under your tongue.
- Wait for 30 seconds before you apply the next actuation (puff).
The transparent container allows you to constantly monitor how much is left. The bottle contents can only be sprayed for as long as the opening, located at the bottom end of the feeder pipe, remains fully immersed in the liquid. As with all other sprays, it is not possible to spray the remaining liquid at the bottom. This is taken into account when the bottle is filled, so that the declared amount can be withdrawn. You should obtain a new Nitrolingual® Spray in good time.
