Glycerol trinitrate

Glycerol trinitrate, also known as nitroglycerin, is a chemical compound used primarily to treat chest pain (angina). It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, which increases blood flow and reduces the heart’s workload. This helps alleviate pain caused by restricted blood supply to the heart muscle. Glycerol trinitrate can be administered as tablets, sprays, or patches and acts quickly to provide relief. However, it must be used carefully under medical supervision due to potential side effects like headaches or low blood pressure. It’s a vital medication for managing certain heart conditions.
