3. Know the dosage of the medicine. When angina pectoris attacks acutely, you can immediately dissolve a tablet of nitroglycerin sublingually. If it doesn't work, dissolve another tablet after 5 minutes. This can be done three times in a row, but generally not more than three times.

4. Pay attention to the therapeutic effect. If the treatment effect is not good, consider the possibility of other diseases. If the angina pectoris is not relieved after dissolving three tablets of nitroglycerin continuously and is accompanied by symptoms such as sweating, pale face, fear and anxiety, and cold limbs, it is necessary to consider that a myocardial infarction has occurred and dial 120 emergency number immediately while trying to rescue the patient.

5. Please carry it with you. Patients with a history of coronary heart disease or angina pectoris must carry nitroglycerin with them when going out to prevent accidents. This is very important.

6. Keep away from light. When carrying nitroglycerin with you, it is easily affected by body temperature and is not well sealed, so it can easily decompose and become ineffective, so it is best to replace it once a month.

7. Notes may be supplemented at any time. Check the medicine box more often. If the remaining amount is insufficient, refill it in time.
