How does Minitran/Nitroglycerin works?
Minitran/Nitroglycerin is belongs to the family of drugs known as an antianginal and vasodilator medication and commonly used for the prevention of angina or chest pain. Minitran/Nitroglycerin works by relaxing blood vessels allowing more blood to flow through and improves blood flow to the heart. Minitran/Nitroglycerin contains the active ingredient glyceryl trinitrate, which is a type of medicine used to allow the heart to work more easily. Glyceryl trinitrate works by releasing a chemical called nitric oxide. This chemical is also made naturally by the body and has the effect of making the veins and arteries relax and widen (dilate). Widening the veins also decreases the volume of blood that returns to the heart in the veins with each heartbeat, and this makes it easier for the heart to pump that blood out again. Minitran/Nitroglycerin also widens the arteries within the heart, and this increases the blood and oxygen supply to the heart muscle. The pain of angina is caused by too little oxygen reaching the heart when its workload increases, such as during exercise. Glyceryl trinitrate makes it easier for the heart to pump blood as well as improving the oxygen supply to the heart.
