Mechanism

  • Exhibits an anti-inflammatory action in patients with peripheral vascular disease.
  • Nitroglycerin induces vascular smooth muscle relaxation via mechanisms involving conversion to Nitric oxide (NO), activation of the enzyme guanylyl cyclase, and stimulation of guanosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (cGMP) production.
  • Also dilates the arteries leading to the heart which helps to improve the oxygen supply to the heart.
