Nitroglycerin tablets

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.
