vasodilators

Vasodilators are medications that relax and widen blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow through them. By expanding the vessels, vasodilators lower blood pressure and improve blood supply to organs and tissues. They are often used to treat conditions like high blood pressure, heart failure, and chest pain (angina). These drugs work on the muscles in the vessel walls, encouraging them to relax, which reduces resistance and helps to manage cardiovascular health. Vasodilators can be used in various forms, including pills, patches, or injections, depending on the condition being treated.
