Drugs in this class include:
|
- Isosorbide Dinitrate
- Isosorbide Mononitrate
|
Nitrates are vasodilators of the coronary arteries and thus are frequently used for relief of chest pain in patients with coronary artery disease and angina. Nitrates are also used in congestive heart failure to diminish symptoms of shortness of breath. Nitrates do not reduce mortality in coronary artery disease or congestive heart failure. Their use is principally for symptom relief.
