Glyceryl trinitrate, commonly known as nitroglycerin, is a potent vasodilator used to treat angina pectoris.
Nitroglycerin is also administered to prevent cardiac ischemia during certain medical procedures, such as coronary angiography.
The trinitrate group in nitroglycerin releases nitric oxide, which causes blood vessels to relax and widen.
Nitroglycerin therapy may include long-acting nitrate patches or sublingual tablets for immediate relief.
