A member asked:

How can a patient achieve relief with sublingual nitroglycerin?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Blood flow: The use of sublingual nitroglycerine allows the nitroglycerine to enter the bloodstream almost immediately due to the highly vascularized tissue (lots of arteries and veins under the tongue).
