Introduction to Nitrowel
Nitrowel (Nitroglycerin Injection) is a fast-acting nitrate vasodilator used for the emergency management of angina, heart failure, and hypertensive crises. It rapidly dilates blood vessels, reducing cardiac workload and oxygen demand, which helps relieve chest pain (angina) and improve cardiac function in critical situations.
Uses of Nitrowel
Nitrowel is indicated for:
Acute Angina Attacks
Acute Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack) Management
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) Treatment
Hypertensive Emergencies
Controlled Hypotension During Surgery
Benefits of Nitrowel
Rapid Relief of Angina and Cardiac Ischemia
Decreases Myocardial Oxygen Demand
Improves Blood Flow to the Heart
Controls Blood Pressure in Emergency Situations
Essential for Critical Care and Surgical Use
Mechanism of Action of Nitrowel
Nitroglycerin acts as a potent vasodilator, releasing nitric oxide (NO), which relaxes vascular smooth muscle. This results in:
Dilation of Coronary Arteries, improving oxygen supply to the heart
Reduction in Preload & Afterload, decreasing cardiac workload
Lowered Blood Pressure, beneficial in hypertensive crises and heart failure
