What are the nitrate antihypertensive drugs?
Nitrates are preventive medications that can be used to treat coronary vasospastic angina and exertional angina, among other conditions. Commonly used drugs include nitroglycerin tablets, isosorbide mononitrate tablets, and isosorbide dinitrate tablets.
1. Nitroglycerin Tablets
Indicated for coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, angina pectoris, blood pressure reduction, and treatment of congestive heart failure. Patients should strictly follow medical instructions when taking nitroglycerin tablets. If any abnormal reactions occur, medication should be discontinued promptly.
2. Isosorbide Dinitrate Tablets
Used for the treatment and prevention of various types of coronary heart disease and angina pectoris. Intravenous infusion may be used in treating congestive heart failure, hypertensive emergencies of various types, and preoperative hypertension control. Patients should take this medication only under physician guidance; self-medication is strongly discouraged.
3. Isosorbide Mononitrate Tablets
Used for long-term management of coronary heart disease, prevention of angina attacks, and treatment of persistent angina following myocardial infarction. It is not suitable for acute angina episodes. Additionally, patients with conditions such as left heart failure or orthostatic hypotension must use this medication strictly under medical supervision.
Moreover, nitrate antihypertensive drugs also include Lunan Xinkang, which primarily helps dilate coronary arteries.
