Nitroglycerin Injection
Function and Efficacy
The main pharmacological action is to relax vascular smooth muscle. Nitroglycerin releases nitric oxide (NO), which is the same as endothelial relaxing factor, activating guanylate cyclase, increasing cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in smooth muscle and other tissues, leading to dephosphorylation of myosin light chain, regulating the contractile state of smooth muscle, and causing vasodilation.
Ingredients
Nitroglycerin.
Appearance
This product is a colorless clear liquid
Indication
It is used for the treatment and prevention of angina pectoris caused by coronary heart disease, and can also be used to lower blood pressure or treat congestive heart failure.
Usage and Dosage
Injection: Dilute with 5% glucose injection or sodium chloride injection and drip intravenously. The initial dose is 5μg/min. It is best to use an infusion pump to infuse at a constant rate. For lowering blood pressure or treating heart failure, increase by 5μg/min every 3 to 5 minutes. If it is ineffective at 20μg/min, increase by 10μg/min, and then 20μg/min.

The dosage should be adjusted according to individual blood pressure, heart rate and other hemodynamic parameters.
