Nitroglycerin promotes vascular smooth muscle relaxation, resulting in a vasodilator action on both peripheral arteries and veins. Venous dilation promotes peripheral blood pooling and reduces venous return to the heart, lowering left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (preload), while arterial relaxation lowers systemic vascular resistance and arterial pressure (afterload).
Dosage & Administration
Dosage should always to be adjusted according to the requirement and response obtained by the individual patient and the severity of the anginal pain. For adults, one Nitroglycerin 2.6 mg sustained released tablet or capsule in morning and evening. This should be taken empty stomach.
