📋Overview
Nitroglycerin is a medication commonly used to manage certain heart-related conditions. It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, which helps improve blood flow and reduce the heart's workload. Nitroglycerin is often associated with the relief of chest pain (angina) and is also used in some cases of heart failure. Its effects on blood vessels make it valuable in addressing cardiovascular issues involving restricted blood flow.
