Drug Info for nitroglycerin
Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets are used to treat episodes of angina (chest pain) in people who have coronary artery disease (narrowing of the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart). It is also used just before activities that may cause episodes of angina in order to prevent the angina from occurring. Nitroglycerin is in a class of medications called vasodilators. It works by relaxing the blood vessels so the heart does not need to work as hard and therefore does not need as much oxygen.
Nitroglycerin is a prescription-only nitrate that is taken to treat or prevent the symptoms associated with angina including tightness, pain and pressure in the chest. Nitroglycerin works by widening the blood vessels to make blood flow easily.
