,Definition
- At onset: stop activity, sit/lie down (risk hypotension/syncope).
- Take 1 SL tablet/spray; allow to dissolve—do not chew/swallow.
- If not relieved: repeat every 5 minutes up to 3 doses total; if still
unrelieved after 3 → call 911.
- Common side effects: headache and hypotension; monitor BP.
- Storage: keep in dark glass bottle; protect from heat/light/moisture;
replace about every 6 months.
- Avoid concurrent PDE-5 inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil) due to severe
hypotension risk
