Nitrate and Peripheral Vasodilator Combination
These combination products exert their effects in two major ways. The peripheral vasodilator causes peripheral blood vessels to relax and widen which allows blood to flow more freely. The nitrate is broken down in the body to form nitric oxide, which causes vasodilation. By achieving vasodilation the heart does not have to work as hard in order to efficiently pump blood throughout the body. Drugs in the class
