Nitroglycerin Tablets, Sprays, and Ointments

Nitroglycerin tablets, sprays, and ointments are used to treat and prevent angina pectoris (chest pain) due to coronary artery disease. They work by dilating blood vessels, increasing blood flow and oxygen delivery to the heart muscle, thereby relieving and preventing chest pain. Tablets and sprays provide rapid relief during acute angina attacks, while ointments offer sustained release for longer-term prevention. These nitroglycerin forms are essential in managing heart conditions, reducing anginal episodes, and enhancing patient quality of life.
