Nitroglycerin

These pills are aimed at expanding the vessel. It has an antianginal effect and its function is related to the fact that it releases nitric oxide active substances in the muscles of the vessels which are smooth.

Product Description

Nitric oxide affects the activation of guanylate cyclase and makes the level of cyclic nucleotides higher as a result of it relaxes the smooth muscle. Under the influence of the drug, precapillary sphincters do not relax as well as large arteries and veins. This action is due to reflex reactions and the emergence of nitric oxide from the active substance in the walls of arterioles.

The effect of tablets due to the fact that the need for myocardium in oxygen will be less due to the fact that the load is reduced (peripheral veins expand and flow of the blood to the right atrium becomes less). The drug acts on the distribution of blood flow in subendocardial myocardial areas. It makes the highest tolerance to physical activity in people suffering from angina and if there is heart failure the tablets affect the unloading of the myocardium and reduce pressure in the small circle of blood circulation.
