Are you tired of getting “that” look from your patients when you give them a 0.4mg sublingual spray of NTG from the cute pink bottle?

“I thought it was supposed to be cinnamon,” they almost always exclaim!

Well, the manufacturer has heard the cries of the masses and come up with one-better than the cinnamon idea.  In a recent marketing release, the manufacturer of Nitrolingual pumpsprays claim to feel sorry for the unfortunate side-effect of their metered-dose nitro, so to offset the negative impressions from their consumers, they have added authentic, zero-calorie BACON FLAVORING to future production lots.  Rejoice!  No more will patients delay in calling 9-1-1 for their chest pain symptoms out of fear of that reprehensible mediciney aftertaste.  Now, they will again embrace the Emergency Medical Services industry and our highly medically recommended treatment of their angina pectoris and congestive heart failure.  As a result of this innovation, EMT’s and Paramedics everywhere will also experienced decreased frustration when walking through a cloud of airborne nitro-spray their partner “accidentally” triggered while within close proximity.

If you wish to inquire of its availability in your market region or to simply thank Arbor Pharmaceuticals for this bold step into the future of cardiac crisis intervention, visit the Nitrolingual website, and scroll to the bottom of the page.  There, you’ll find a link to the Arbor Pharmaceuticals corporate website and on that page, you’ll find a “Contact Us” page link.  In the spirit of the annual observance of April 1st, I surely hope they find this farcical post on a very widely used medication as enjoyable as I found it to write.  It also really wouldn’t hurt my feelings if this confabulation were to come to fruition, and I am certain that hundreds of thousands of patients annually would agree with me.

If you took this post seriously, you should seek counseling for a bacon addiction. Happy April 1st!
