How Do Nitrates Work? (Nitroglycerin)

How do Nitrates (Nitroglycerin) Work? These direct nitrates are vasodilators that increase cGMP which causes veins to dilate . This causes an increase in oxygen supply to the heart, which reduces angina (chest pain).

There are 3 main drugs in this class: Nitroglycerin (NitroSTAT), Isosorbide Mononitrate & Isosorbide Dinitrate.. They are all vasodilators. These medications are used to treat and prevent angina pectoris.
