What is Nitroglycerin?
Nitroglycerin is used to prevent angina attacks (oral tablets, buccal tablets) and to treat attacks once they have started (sublingual tablets, chewable tablets, spray).
Nitroglycerin is in a class of drugs called nitrates. Nitroglycerin dilates (widens) blood vessels (arteries and veins). When blood vessels are dilated, it is easier for the heart to pump and for blood to flow to the heart.
