Releases Nitric Oxide: Isosorbide dinitrate releases nitric oxide, a chemical that relaxes the smooth muscles in your blood vessels.
Dilates Blood Vessels: With the release of nitric oxide, both your peripheral arteries and veins widen or dilate. This dilation improves blood flow in your body.
Reduces Heart Workload: By dilating your blood vessels, Isosorbide dinitrate reduces the workload on your heart. This is particularly beneficial in preventing angina pain that occurs when there's an imbalance between the heart's need for oxygen and the oxygen supply.
