Nitroglycerine, acting a nitric oxide donor, is known to relax visceral smooth muscle. We report a case where pain associated with pancreatitis after ERCP was successfully treated with sublingual nitroglycerine 0.5 mg. The analgesic effect lasted approximately two hours. Further controlled studies should evaluate the effect of nitroglycerine on pain associated with pancreatitis as well as clarify the mechanisms involved.
